Re: Pokerstars moving to Europe
 

A little OT, but I followed a link off OP's link to a story about a Catholic fund that invested in the Party IPO, contrary to its own investment policy:

[ QUOTE ]
The Secular Clergy Common Fund, a charity for ill and infirm Roman Catholic priests, bought shares in the internet poker group despite an ethical investment policy banning it from buying shares in gambling companies.

HSBC, which manages the charity’s investments, bought 22,403 shares on behalf of the the fund.

This weekend, Michael O’Shea, who runs the charity, described the investment as an “error of judgment”. He added: “As a Catholic charity, we can’t be seen to be involved (with Party Gaming). It’s not ethical is it, really? It was only for such a short time. We pulled out very quickly.”

I can't help wondering if they'd have pulled out had they been underwater.

Well, as Israeli AND a Jew, I can say the the picture was a bit offensive but I accept that it wasn't meant to be.

However, the comment by oreo was totally out of place.

Edit - The problem with the picture was the Star-Of-David on the hat. The fact that it is yellow is especially bad. Reminds people of the star Jews had to where during Nazi time.
I know it wasn't intended - just the way it came out.

I interviewed with Stars for a job a little more than a year ago. They had mentioned their desire to move to Europe. Glad to see if finally taking place.

I wonder if Lee will be staying back in the US.

Re: Pokerstars moving to Europe
 

I think the main reason that the poker sites are moving to Europe is for customer trust.

I would much rather play on a site that is in Gibraltar or the Isle-of-Man than I would on one that is based in an Indian reservation in Northern Canada (no offence intended).

They are also getting amazing tax deals.
