Default Re: Pokerstars 350.000 guaranteed tourney, seems a scandal goin on..

I now got mailed this response....


Thank you for writing about this issue. Around 9 pm Eastern this
evening, we experienced a lag in our game servers. We noted the
problem quite quickly, and stopped all games very quickly. Site
operations returned to normal and all cash games and tournaments were
restarted within 35 minutes, once we were certain the servers were
operating smoothly again.

One effect of this outage is that you may previously have reached the
PokerStars Cashier, but it showed a zero balance. The proper balance
should now be visible in the Cashier.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this outage. We can
assure you that this situation in no way represents normal operations
at PokerStars.

If you were in a tournament at the time of the downage and did not
complete the tournament, please e-mail us with the subject line:

"REFUND: Txxxxxx, $a+b buy-in, USERID"

...where "xxxxxx" is the Tournament ID, "a+b" is the
buy-in of the
tournament (for example, $20+2), and "USERID" is your PokerStars
User
ID.

We apologize for this outage, which is a very rare occurence here on
PokerStars. We appreciate your patience and understanding as well as
your business.


Hello?!? Me and 4 players busted out at place 53-56 in a 413.200 USD tourney because a few selected people robbed blinds that were forfeited.
The blinds were 6-12k when this happened, anyone of us 4 could easily have going on to win that tourney and they seem to offer some kind of buy in reimbursement?!?
55th paid about 1000 USD, that's a shitload of difference to 86.000 who was 1st prize.
