Well done to Virus, Joe, and all those involved.They say justice delayed is justice denied - and this was certainly delayed beyond what most would call reasonable. At least the right decision was made. Let's hope the justice part continues to come to the fore and things are put right, once and for all.BFB

Oh, how sweet it is.Well done Paul, Joe Meissner, Phil Markey, Dr. Bob, and probably others too. Great effort and great result, hopefully with implications beyond the SA borders.

This news has made my day Paul.Congratulations to all concerned.Hit them for compensation with all you have.They must dread the sight of Dr Bob by now.For those who don't know,Dr Bob is not just one of our favourite poker players ,he is also considered as the resident expert on poker and mathematics.Simply great news.Even Robert Mugabe couldn't "fix" this one.

I'd like to know if Dr. Bob has done some research since the court case and if he knows how to play a pair of tens now.

Forget to add that the same charges against our other 70 odd members had been adjourned until 17th of December. This was done on the 25th of June, awaiting the outcome of the test case.The question is now whether the police will drop those charges or try to prosecute those members.
