Okay just an update, this is really quite serious. I know it was announced several hours ago that Gus was on his way to the hotel to sort things out, but the travel expenses are still outstanding. This is a message from Amanda who is possibly facing jail if this is not resolved imminently: This needs to be RESOLVED before someone goes to jail. | ||

I need a sponsor to help out; there will be benefits in terms of publicity for this (probably more effective than any promotion). If not then Dox and I will ask the community to help us solve this issue financially. Aye, I'll help donate what little I have, I'm sure the community will help! | ||

A guy from nVidia handed out money to Sen and MKP. Moon wasn't there at the awarding ceremony. But it's legit they handed out money. The sponsor really was there. Cool thats at least somewhat reassuring the players didnt get screwed for their hard work. | ||

Sadly, the last page has been the discussion of how the hotel bill has not been sorted out . It's moments like this I wish I could do more than just hope for the best ... | ||

For some reason i cannot believe that a huge organisation like IPL just says " here's $ 50k have fun". (im no expert in organizing esport events, but just wondering there must be some safety before handing out money?) I'd imagine they had some legally binding paperwork that would prevent an essentially blank check. But there's still the problem of the people who will get screwed immediately (read Amanda). Though I'm sure that after this settles a bit and IPL discusses what they'll do next, legal action will follow. $13k does not simply disappear.

Though to be honest, I'm really worried about the people who are just caught up in this whole mess doing their job, they seriously have been fucked over so hard . Edit: I agree with the guy below me! | ||

Err I'm not so sure about ph laws but sounds like Amanda alone is liable cuz she put her own name when paying or something. In America/Canada, I know that for a fact verbal contracts have legal binding, so she can defer the liability onto Gus or something, but yea since its in ph, i have no clue how the laws there work. | ||

However, I am not aware of travel agencies giving out tickets and having you use them without being fully paid for it, unless Amanda is acquainted/related to the travel agency. That's the only way I can really get how the whole balance for the airfare can come about. As for paperwork, I am a bit doubtful there is a paper trail. My guess is also, before IPL reimburses Amanda for the remainder of the amount she is claiming, they would need copies of the tickets/flight itenerary that was confirmed/used and who they were named to to confirm legitimacy. Gus doesn't appear to be showing us books of expenses so IPL just needs other sources of legitimate paperwork so they reimburse them. | ||
