Empire Poker writing off bad checks?

Occasionally I would bounce a check, and get an email + phone call telling me i had to pay up which i always did. Right before i left Empire (about 6 months ago) I deposited $100 via eChecks which was return because i didnt have the funds in my checking account. I ignored the emails and phone calls and after a month never heard a word from them again. I have since closed that checking account.

Now what i did is wrong and i realise this but it brings up a question. I went back to empire over month ago and for the hell of it tried to deposit $1000 using the echecks. I no longer have the checking account and really didnt think it was going to work

Sounds like you have a gambling problem, either that or you are just an idiot

so I got a small check for about $250 from empire for a cash out about 6 weeks ago and it bounced. First time from any poker site and I have played on 40 different sites. They never contacted me but when I emailed them they told me a replacement check was in the mail and it did come a few days later. They said that there was a problem with that account, I guess they are having lots of problems.

DOes this concern any of the high limit players on empire? I have a few thousand on empire but that's pennis compared to some 100/200 and such players.

I've had the strange feeling like empire is gonna go pokershare on us one day - anyone else have this concern opinion? I've asked this qustion a bunch of times and nobody gives me an answer.

That would mean they'll pay you your balance before they disappear...

Apparently with checks that will bounce.

Most people, including me, got checks from Pokershare that were cleared without a hitch.

Empire is completely healthy financially, you don't have to worry. It's just unclear what network they are going to use. I would guess iPoker since they also own Noble Poker. No worries-check out there financials. EOL is publically traded company in the UK.

You always have to consider the source and FWIW I take anything somebody with two posts says with a salt shaker

Also I would think it is uncommon for most regular 2+2 types to be a regular depositer especally with e-checks. So what motive does this guy have to come on here and spread this sort of rumor?

It is possible they just sold the debt to a collection agency, which will soon make your life a living hell. Have fun with that.
