22Q Cliffnotes and events surrounding 22Q
1st things 1st. The name of the site we owned was originally called Vegaspokerradio.com. Jasep decided to make the decision on his own to change it to podcastvegas.com after the first version was torn down. While we called the site vegaspokerradio the main URL that you would see in the address bar was always Podcastvegas.com and vegaspokerradio was just pointed at it as were about 10 other domains
22Q 72 Hour Ironman Podcast
-22Q Ironman 72 hr fundraiser was in early September. I believe it started Sunday the 2nd and ended Wednesday September 5th or that was the day after it ended
22Q Donation Money Total
- These figures are not 100 % accurate but they should be very close to accurate. Roughly 6500 was raised , 3500 went straight through the donate button to 22q on podcastvegas.com where users could donate directly to the foundation
22Q Poker Room on Podcastvegas.com (vpr)
- Jasep set up a poker room on Podcastvegas.com (vpr) which had the same software as seals with clubs and nofraudonlinepoker. He set up MTTS and Cash Games that would be raked and 100 % of the rake was to be donated to 22Q.
Buyins
- People bought into these games with Paypal shipments to Jasep or whatever other methods he accepted. So whomever deposited through Jasep received chips in the room and Jasep had held the deposits
Poker Room Donations
- At the end of 22Q all chips to the poker room were donated accept for like 1 $25 cashout from 1 user. So all in all the rake in the room didn't really matter because Jasep now had the rake and every chip that was left in peoples accounts were donated at the very end which was very generous.
Total of Donations to be sent by Jasep
- Roughly $3000 of the $6500 either came through the poker room or people who donated to Jasep directly. Only Jasep knows how much was raked donated/nobody can verify this but him because he ran all of the software.
- I am pretty sure Sep went to Borgota later that week
[9/5/2012 1:58:33 PM] John Sep: i was suppose to wake up at 6am to go to borgata but 5 alarm clocks did not even phase me..
- Friday September 14th was the week following Borgota and I believe Jasep was going back

Payment from Victor Ramdin that a euro buddy of mine handled and then he shipped to me and I shipped to Jasep
During the podcast Victor agreed to make a donation but didn't send it till a few days or even a week after the podcast but Victor did send it. At the time he was very busy grinding WCOOP every day. I checked with my buddy a few times in that time frame and it hadn't showed up yet but sometime between the podcast and September 19th it did show up.
Here is a chatlog from me and Jasep Skype from Wed September 19th
[9/19/2012 2:17:52 AM] mark: 260 confirmed from ramdin
[9/19/2012 2:18:07 AM] mark: are we waiting for anything else?
[9/19/2012 9:45:13 AM] John Sep: no
[9/19/2012 10:55:33 AM] John Sep: you can send it to me on paypal if you want, It is already included in the Bank Check I have for them, I just deducted user dontations from pledges and poker room money and have the difference for them
[9/19/2012 11:30:45 AM] mark: ok
[9/19/2012 11:39:37 AM] mark: will ship paypal over in few
[9/19/2012 11:40:49 AM] John Sep: no rush, its whatever, if you want hold 100 and ship the rest... i think the server will cost us 160 each for 4 months and i have 260 for you
[9/19/2012 11:41:28 AM] mark: ok
[9/19/2012 11:41:48 AM] John Sep: same server as druff
[9/19/2012 11:42:11 AM] mark: If u havent written check I would prefer to ship them C.C. , would be easier to me financially wise but I can do the paypal it will just leave my checking thin
[9/19/2012 11:42:20 AM] mark: and I can add a little more
[9/19/2012 11:42:34 AM] mark: but if u have the check written and it is pain I can ship the paypal
[9/19/2012 11:43:12 AM] John Sep: i have a bank draft for them, I am meeting the guy this weekend but do the CC, its fine, its small money, im not super concerned if I just wind up donating the difference myself
[9/19/2012 11:43:23 AM] mark: nah thats ok
[9/19/2012 11:43:30 AM] mark: Ill ship u over the paypal
[9/19/2012 11:43:48 AM] John Sep: i dont want to leave you thin, you can hold it until you are in better shape
[9/19/2012 11:44:25 AM] mark: nah Ill be ok, I bought up 5k BCP yesterday and now waiting for cashouts etc. but I dont think anything will hit my checking that will screw me
[9/19/2012 11:44:39 AM] mark: whats yer paypal
[9/19/2012 11:45:36 AM] John Sep: trupqq@gmail.com, seriously though mark, i am not pressed so if you need some time it isnt a big deal at all
[9/19/2012 11:45:56 AM] mark: its ok I will just get it out of way now
[9/19/2012 11:46:03 AM] mark: wont affect me
[9/19/2012 11:46:10 AM] mark: 100 ball right?
[9/19/2012 11:48:53 AM] John Sep: total is 160.... I have 260 from blind squirrel for you and brandon but collectively we need to spend about 470 on a quarter year server... so minus 1/3 of that from 260 and you have about 100 that I owe you... you have 260 from stars, so if you hold the 100 i owe you than its 160 from the stars donation to me... sounds complicated and again i am in no rush, just that ramdin emailed me last night so i text u... i have money so its not a pressing issue for me, not at all
[9/19/2012 11:49:50 AM] mark: ok
[9/19/2012 11:50:00 AM] John Sep: get your cashouts first then ship me, no biggie, i am gonna do the server move this weekend, i can cover the cost until you get cashouts
[9/19/2012 11:50:52 AM] mark: alright, I got a wire coming within a week and a BCP check, will ship as soon as it hits
[9/19/2012 11:51:06 AM] John Sep: yeah thats completely fine
[9/19/2012 11:51:15 AM] mark: if u need it for anything let me know I can ship
[9/19/2012 11:51:34 AM] mark: or if u want any poker room chips <bcp, or tops)
[9/19/2012 11:51:55 AM] John Sep: i really dont need it I won a tournament on ACR 2 days ago and crushed foxwoods last night
[9/19/2012 11:52:01 AM] mark: vnh
160 I sent to him
I sent the $160 to him on Septemeber 26th according to my Paypal statement
Fast Forward to Now
All of this is being looked into. From what I heard the person who handles the financials at 22Q can't remember this check off the top of their head because this was a rather large check and they thought they would remember it. What Jasep said in these skype logs was he was meeting a guy with the bank draft. My question is why wouldnt he just straight donate the money through paypal on the 22Q link? Why the need for a check? There is no 22Q rep in his area. The only guy who has ties locally to 22Q I believe is JoeU and he never was handed a check. Here is JoeU post from yesterday in this thread.
Conclusion
From what I have heard they havnt found it. But I am also aware before they make a solid statement or give a solid answer they will probably look through this VERY deeply to avoid any bad press on there end if the payment indeed was made.
Draw your own conclusion but I would think a receipt would be easy to come up with if your Jasep or the foundation. It has been 3 days and neither have come up with a receipt.
