Funny stuff....Hadn't even made the connection

1/11/97 was the first night I met my wife and the night she dragged me down to the community hot tub (indoors) during a fairly brisk snow storm in Dallas.

1/11/07 was the night Pinnacle shut down.

i was at the holiday inn in fishkill NY....it was about 430 am when I woke up and noticed something on therx about pinnacle. I went to the site and read the note that was posted on pinnacles website so I called them immediatly. The lady who awnsered the phone confirmed my worse nightmare. I rushed to pull out my 50 dimes to neteller thinking I could just move 1,000 a day to the atm card. I now have 42,000 stuck in neteller. Smart move by me to wake up that early. I figure if I did not see the pinnacle shutdown that morning and rushed to make a withdrawl my withdrawl would have taken a week or so to get to me due to the backlog and I would have missed the neteller debacle.

at the time did not need cash in other books. was trying to decide what to do with the pinny money. i did not think having it in neteller was a problem at the time. not the first time i was wrong about something.

I was in India. I came home a couple weeks later to find out about the death of American Pinnacle and Neteller.

i can't believe you didn't hear about pinny's shutdown on the streets of india. i thought it was an international story. not like there is much going on in india these days. :103631605
