Genting (the same crooks who are trying to stiff Phil Ivey) announced on Friday that all Hendon Mob players 'sponsorship dollars' are now cancelled. These were just equivalent to FPPs. You couldn't cash them out directly but could use them for tournament buyins etc. As an extra kick in the nuts HM players were excluded from earning points in a parallel scheme (which they're now part of, starting at zero) on the grounds they were in this one!

Most amounts are relatively small in the £100 range but I've seen several players losing 4-figure sums and no doubt more will come to light. The Hendon Mob are four British players who run a successful website and have been a skin for several sites. They've already responded on their site that they weren't informed of this in advance and are obviously very unhappy.
