Is TOW getting paid for his services in this matter? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Roberto has helped me in the past so please don't take this as a knock on him...
Picasso, I beleive he is getting a % of players funds paid, although it might be voluntary on the players own will.
It is great that Roberto is helping players get paid and putting forth this effort. Disturbing to me is that some people praise him like he is mother Theresa for helping out the poor gamblers who got taken out of the kindness of his heart. In one aspect it seems it was a marketing venture to pursue PANAM debts. Instead of paying advertising and such he decided to generate lots of publicity for his new watchdog site by waging war against PAN AM. Really good move in my opinion, it's got to be extraordinarily tough to create a niche in the watchdog arena nowadays when other sites are so well established.
If not for Pam Am, nobody would have heard of TOW except the hardcore players who might recall hearing about Roberto the former man at Royal starting a watchdog site. By taking on the Pam Am case, the biggest story of the year his site became synonamous with the years top story, pretty good idea in my mind. THis is not a bad thing , as nobody loses with this marketing tact, but lets not act as it is charity work by Roberto.
His is from an outsiders point of view, so I may be totally wrong. Maybe somebody can correct my theory if I'm off.
