Costa Rica cops raid PokerStars and Absolute

I wish I was kidding, but this doesn't look good. Pokerstars 2+2 rep confirmed in thread.

I've been following links and it looks like a lot of this was triggered by recent actions by Cereus planning to bail and leave locals hanging. Looks like Stars is caught in the mess also.

Here is an example.

I guess that's what Stars gets for taking my $2.35 rather than refunding it! J/k...but they really did take it!

Here is another link about Absolute. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...postcount=2363

Apparently, all of this was sparked by local employees being afraid that they weren't going to be paid. If the above link is to be believed UB was planning on screwing US players. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

PS: Mods, sorry to post links from the other site but I figured this was big enough news it needed to be shared. Hope its okay.

I wrote off UB money made through our freerolls & buy-ins long ago. I'm not surprised one bit!

As usual - a 2+2 link that says absolutely nothing at all.
