Cris won't.
A guy from Bookmaker called me about their football specials, I told him if he could arrange a transfer from Cascade to Bookmaker I would play with them.

He went to check, but called back that there was some litigation and they wouldn't touch Cascade with a ten foot pole.

There will be no bailouts. Cascade also owes bookmakers in Costa Rica and Ireland that I know of. The debt is also too high and the player base too sophisticated.

I never had an account with Cascade -- but I could have. I remember one year I briefly considered them, when they were highly rated here.

Players just like me have bucks sitting in this book, or money that has disappeared down the rathole, while the book keeps operating, taking in new money.

So, I assume tomorrow SBR will downgrade to F, and use whatever political pull they have in CR to put pressure on this renegade book?

Everybody should go after Lenny. He's the one who stole everybody's money. His real name is xxxxxxxxx for those of you who want to try suing him to get your money back.

Pokerking, from reading this tread I always figured you were one of the reasons they weren't paying.

Care to comment?

Maybe Cascade was just trying to take pressure off them by making up a scapegoat?

Obviously, Cascade can't exactly be trusted on their word.

If they owed me money (and they certainly could have, i was about to deposit there towards the end of football season last year) I'd be in Costa Rica looking for it.

I'm not sure that would accomplish anything, but I'd be trying.

I'm not coming to the defense of Cascade here, and I realize people are PISSED, but I think posting of Lenny or any owner/operator's real name should be off limits.

If I were to start a post listing the names and personal info of deadbeat/chargeback/scam customers for others to see publicly I imagine I'd be lynched for being unethical. If so, the door should swing both ways IMO.

I missed the personal info of Lenny's in this thread Mason. Now that you have pointed it out to me I have edited it out.

I disagree!!!!!!!!!!!!

If a few these guys got a shovel upside the head, there would be a lot less theft in this industry going on. What makes this worse is that he has kept his business open and has been soliciting deposits all while telling anyone with money there wanting to withdraw FU.
