昨天（4月12日周六）PokerTrillion的玩家突然发现自己不能取款，很快PokerTrillion的首席执行官Andy Pyrah给玩家发出如下电邮：

Dear User

I write to inform you that today, Trillion Limited (POKERTRILLION.com), has been successful in its application for a garnishee order (also known as a freezing order) against Boss Holdings Limited and Boss Media Malta Poker Ltd’s bank accounts in anticipation of issuing a writ of summons for breach of contract and other associated claims.

POKERTRILLION.com will be moving to a new poker network on 25th April 2008 as any association with the Boss Media group of companies is very detrimental.

Rest assured POKERTRILLION.com have your best interests at heart and we will release further details regarding our new network shortly.

Kindest regards,
Andy Pyrah.
Chief Executive Officer

从安迪的信中理解，Boss Media的某些金融账户很快会被冻结，而且数量惊人，高达几百万欧元，因此Boss Media目前情况十分严峻。

什么是Freezing Order？
An injunction is an order which can be made by the High Court or County Court prohibiting a person from doing something or (less often) requiring a person to do something.

A "freezing injunction" or "freezing order" is a special form of interim order stopping a party from disposing of assets or removing them out of the country pending resolution of a dispute.

Because of its severe nature a freezing order, sometimes referred to as a "nuclear option", will not be lightly granted and a condition attached to the grant of such an order is likely to be that the person who applied for it will pay full costs of the person against whom it was made if it turns out to have been inappropriate.

下面是PokerTrillion的市场营销总监Colin Hawker的声明：

Poker Trillion intend to issue a writ for Breach of contract. Poker Trillion have to distance themselves from Boss and any company which has had it’s bank accounts frozen and will therefore complete their move to our new network by 25th April.

WebDollar是Boss Media的资金处理系统，所有玩家资金都要经过WebDollar。如果Boss Media的金融账户被冻结，玩家在WebDollar里的钱很可能取不出来。目前为止还不知道到底冻结资金会是多少。

Boss Media与很多有名的公司合作提供网上扑克服务，包括英国维京集团(Virgin)、博天堂(Sportingbet)、英国雅虎(Yahoo UK)等。

PokerTrillion不仅宣布退出Boss Media，将于4月25日换到其它扑克网络，而且还对Boss Media提起了法律诉讼，控告Boss Media没有履行合同，作弊和从事犯罪活动。据透露，Boss Media有几百万欧元资金被冻结，很可能不能支付玩家资金。

鉴于Boss Media与许多世界著名公司联系紧密，PokerTrillion的系列行动震惊了业界。由于事件发生在周末，Boss Media估计要到周一或者周二才会做出相应的应对措施。目前，网上扑克内传言四起，议论纷纷。

目前并不知道到底是PokerTrillion被Boss Media踢出了，PokerTrillion因此采取报复行动，还是Boss Media真的有很大麻烦。

下面是PokerTrillion正式发布的新闻稿：

April 12, 2008 Malta – Trillion Limited (POKERTRILLION.com).

There have been a lot of rumours, a lot of speculation, and a lot of questions surrounding the current position between POKERTRILLION.com, Boss Holdings Limited and Boss Media Malta Poker Ltd. This statement seeks to clarify everything.

On Friday 11th April 2008 POKERTRILLION.com achieved a freezing order of the bank accounts of Boss Holdings Limited and Boss Media Malta Poker Ltd. The freezing order was executed at five of the banks where they hold accounts, and it will be executed at the reaming two banks early Monday morning. The freezing order has been made in conjunction and relating to a 45million Euro initial law suit being taken by POKERTRILLION against Boss Media and Webdollar for alleged fraudulent, and potential criminal activities of various personnel and/or the management of Boss Media, or their associated companies in various jurisdictions including but not restricted to, Sweden and Malta.

It is anticipated that this will have a serious detrimental impact on the players who have money with Boss Media or any of its associated companies including Webdollar, because obviously the accounts have now been frozen so it is likely that when the freezing order is executed across all the Webdollar and Boss Media accounts, players will find it impossible to withdraw funds.

POKERTRILLION.com as a small and new entrant to the market is taking a zero tolerance approach to being mistreated by Boss Media, furthermore, owing to the massive irregularities surrounding Boss Media and their handling of POKERTRILLION.com this led to a number of contractual issues that led to POKERTRILLION.com making extremely exciting and important developments in the way in which it operated its business.

Further information will be released as and when the courts give permission for POKERTRILLION.com to discuss such developments. In the interim, all players who hold accounts with POKERTRILLION.com have an unconditional and unlimited guarantee on all funds they hold through POKERTRILLION.com.

It is highly likely, if Boss Media follows the proper code of conduct as it should do, it will have to make a full and complete disclosure to the Stockholm Stock Exchange where they are listed. This invariably will have a catastrophic effect on their share price, and may even lead to the arrest by the authorities of certain members of their management team and the possible suspension of their sharers. This in turn, would mean that players not in the POKERTRILLION.com stable would find their funds in serious jeopardy yet again.

POKERTRILLION.com however is delighted that this situation has created the ability to develop some fantastic new opportunities which are to be revealed in the coming week.

Should you require any further information please contact [email protected] or the judicial courts in Malta.

最新情况，下面是使用Boss Media软件的PokerHeaven的VIP经理给玩家的答复：

Poker Trillion were kicked off the network on Thursday and are putting Boss in breach of contract.

Trillion were constantly breaking network rules and this is why they have rightly been thrown off the network. Not having seen their contract I don't know how strong their claim will be against Boss.

Boss have not gone broke, far from it, and any funds players have with PH are safe, please can you relay this message on the forum.

Thanks

PokerTrillion看来只不过是借这场官司来炒作自己。PokerTrillion给玩家超出30%的返水，多次破坏网络规则，周四被Boss Media踢出了该扑克网络，限期5月1号离开该扑克室。

当Poker Trillion告Boss Media的时候，很多人认为这是无赖行为，但是现在马耳他法庭第一轮审判结果Poker Trillion赢了。法庭判Poker Trillion公司可以依法扣留Boss Media Malta Limited和Boss Media AB公司的服务器，这些服务器必须从2008年9月18日起停止任何商业活动。法官否决了Boss Media公司的申诉权利。Boss Media扑克网络的各个扑克室现在估计都在担心怎么过日子了。

另外，Poker Trillion向Boss Media索讨5百万到2千万欧元的损失费，Boss Media的公司账户现在也十分危险，玩家的钱估计都不好支付出了。

这桩官司绝对值得关注。

Boss Media发表声明。这个Poker Trillion不是一般的难缠，而且说谎成性。
PRESS RELEASE 19 AUGUST 2008

In relation to the statements made by Poker Trillion August 18 (“Trillion Limited -v- Boss Media Malta Limited and Boss Media AB”), Boss Media has issued the following statement.


Poker Trillion’s recent comments are a reckless attempt to support a legal action that is without merit and initiated as retribution for their dismissal from the Boss Media network. To be clear, player funds are not affected by the current proceedings. All players’ funds are held separately under the control of the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority and cannot be seized by any court.

Poker Trillion is a former customer of Boss Media who was terminated because of rake back violations. They have since then repeatedly tried to disrupt the Boss Media business through the dissemination of groundless rumors. In April 2008 Poker Trillion alleged in a press release a claim that among other things, Boss Media player funds where frozen. The allegations were false but typical of the type of tactics employed by Poker Trillion.

While there has been no hearing on the merits of the Poker Trillion suit, there have been preliminary hearings on the matter. Boss Media has assured that adequate security is provided in Malta in the event of an award of damages against it which we believe be to unlikely.

Boss Media is currently exploring various legal options regarding our Maltese assets and can assure that Boss Media has the requisite assets in place to ensure that our business will continue to operate with the highest standards. In the extremely unlikely event that any Malta operations would be affected, Boss Media have high-performance back-up systems in place to ensure continued service to all our customers and their players.
