NETeller to Announce Plan to Refund Online Poker Players' Funds within 75 days

by PokerPages.com
Wed, Mar 21st, 2007 @ 12:00am

NETeller, the leading global independent online money transfer business, today announced that it has signed agreements with each of the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York ("USAO") and independent firm Navigant Consulting, Inc. ("Navigant") which will enable them within the next 75 days to announce the plan by which funds will be distributed to US customers, including frustrated online poker players.

On 8 February 2007, the Group announced that it was in discussions with the USAO to manage an orderly return of funds to US customers and that it was contemplated that a forensic accounting firm would be engaged, at NETeller's expense, to assist in this process and to examine the NETeller Group's financial position (click here to read related PokerPages article).

On 20 March 2007 NETeller signed agreements with the USAO and Navigant which, among other things, outline terms and a timeline under which NETeller will work toward the orderly distribution of funds to its US customers.

Per the agreements, NETeller anticipates that within the next 75 days it will announce a plan by which the funds will be distributed to US customers. Navigant will also provide a report to the USAO on NETeller Group's current financial condition.

"We continue to be committed to returning funds to our US customers and working with the US Attorney's Office," said Ron Martin, Group President and CEO. "Progress, while not always visible to the outside observer, has been steady and these agreements mark a milestone in the process."

NETeller is continuing to cooperate with the USAO's investigation, under the advice of its legal advisers and in accordance with court orders in the Isle of Man.

Further updates with relation to the US situation will be made as soon as there are any material developments.

Meantime, US customers should visit updates.NETeller.com for more information, which includes newly updated FAQs. These FAQs will provide additional clarity, where the Group is able, around certain issues currently being raised in a number of public forums.

Additionally US Customers can contact NETELLER Customer Service on the web at http://web.netteller.com/content/en/contact_index.htm or by phone at 1-888-258-5859.
