Absolute Poker has retained Blank Rome LLP as United States counsel to provide legal advice in relation to civil and criminal matters filed in federal court in Manhattan and made public on April 15, 2011. Absolute Poker is aware that on April 19, 2011, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York entered into separate agreements with FullTilt Poker and PokerStars. These agreements concern the use of the respective www.fulltiltpoker.com and www.pokerstars.com domain names. The US Attorney, in a press release dated April 20, 2011, stated that the government is willing to enter the same agreement with Absolute Poker and UB. At this time, Absolute Poker’s top priority is, and must be, the refund of balances to its and UB’s US players. However, given the far-reaching consequences of the US Attorney’s actions for Absolute Poker and for the entire poker community, Absolute Poker believes that the responsible course of action is to review with its attorneys the relevant court filings before taking any action. Absolute Poker believes that the US Attorney shares the view that refunds to US players are an immediate and pressing concern, and Absolute Poker wishes to make clear that it wants to work cooperatively with the US Attorney to safely and efficiently return its players’ funds. To that end, Absolute Poker’s counsel has initiated communications with the US Attorney’s office and plans to continue proactively advancing those discussions. Further information and timely updates will be provided to Absolute Poker/UB’s players as we move forward. 绝对扑克和UB扑克发表声明，关于与DOJ沟通的问题关于司法部最近行动的声明绝对扑克，包括UB扑克（原极限扑克）品牌，以下称“绝对扑克”，今天发表以下声明。绝对扑克已经聘布兰科罗姆律师事务所提供有关法律意见，以提出在曼哈顿联邦法院和2011年4月15日公布的民事和刑事案件。绝对扑克知道，4月19日，2011 年，为纽约州南区美国检察官将与FullTilt扑克和扑克之星单独订立协议。这些协议涉及各自fulltiltpoker.com使用和 pokerstars.com域名。美国司法部在4月20日2011年新闻稿，表示政府愿意进入以绝对扑克和UB扑克相同的协议。在这个时候，绝对扑克的首要任务是，而且必须是在其和UB扑克的美国玩家余额退款。然而，由于对绝对扑克和整个社会的扑克美国司法部的行动的深远后果，绝对扑克认为，负责任的行动是与它的律师审查有关法院申请之前，采取任何行动。绝对扑克认为，美国司法部长同意这样的观点，为美国玩家退款立即和迫切的问题，并绝对扑克愿就明确表示，希望共同合作，与美国律师代理安全，有效地返回其玩家的资金。为此，绝对扑克的律师已开始与美国联邦检察官办公室的通信，并计划继续积极推动这些讨论。进一步的信息和及时的更新将提供给绝对扑克/UB的玩家，因为我们向前迈进。Statement on Recent DOJ ActionAbsolute Poker, including the UB (formerly Ultimate Bet) brand, hereafter “Absolute Poker”, issued the following statement today.Absolute Poker has retained Blank Rome LLP as United States counsel to provide legal advice in relation to civil and criminal matters filed in federal court in Manhattan and made public on April 15, 2011.
