Roberto:

When documents were signed I was under a non disclosure agreement. Same as when I left on December 7th 2003. Obviously this requirement is no longer in place since the legal entity retaining the rights over non disclosure is in liquidation

 

As much as I would like to go deep into the issue, I must admit I can't bust your balls over a non-disclosure contractual agreement.

Sad case what has happened at Royal, in my view it has been bad business decision, after bad business decision... one of top of the next one.

It's almost like a book could be written on how to kill a cash cow in 3 years and make money off of it. You will excuse my sense of humor, I've always been a prick.

I only hope the industry will still see one more bailout, this time by a company that won't be in need of being bailed out themselves, a couple of years after.

 

 

It's a dark hour indeed. The publication of Tej owning Royal was a blow too severe to endure, even for Kevin.

 

In all seriousness I want to ask and with no intention of being caustic:

Why did you keep the fact that Tej had become part of the ownership of Royal?

 

As much as I understand, you were the one who set up the sale for Tej to come in almost 2 years ago. Why would you not mention it before, knowing exactly this was a time bomb? Did you not think that at the moment of this being brought to the public light, it would most definitely take Royal down in flames?

 

Will you now step up to occupy a prominent position in this bail-out scene? Very commendable if so, but why would you conceal information like this from the very players you will now try to help?   

 

We cannot think of any logical explanation of what is going on in these hours. Our utmost concern goes to players funds. While certain of Royal's ownership financial reserves, the mounting problem doesn't seem to be adressed with the switness required by players' concerns.

 

Despite this gray scenario we have found new hope in learning that one of the most prominent offshore bookmakers is ready to save the book. His committment stands as the brightest of the stars in the darkest night.

 

We invite all owed players to post in this thread.
