Anyone hear anything? It sure seems quiet. No checks this month.
I wonder if they will file for bankruptcy or just not do anything and hope it all fades away.

Hey Jake,
News for you!!!!!!!
I received this from Kevin Trudeau.
Dear IPT Players & Supporters,
Here are some updates regarding the IPT. The IPT is not over. The dream of building a professional major billiards tour is alive and well. The setbacks and struggles we have faced have been very real and quite large. Slowly and steadily the executive management team of the IPT has been diligently working on overcoming these challenges, revamping the IPT business model, and reorganizing the IPT to move forward. We are all frustrated by the lack of speed in this turnaround. However, please be encouraged with the knowledge that a reorganized, and re-energized IPT will launch soon. In the words of Napolean Hill “In all adversity there are the seeds of an equal and greater opportunity.” My personal desire to see the IPT as the major world-wide tour in pool is stronger now than ever before. Specifically, the major updates are as follows:
All players from the World Open will continue to be paid each month or every other month as cash flow allows. You will all be paid in full before the next IPT tournament.
All players who paid a qualifying entry fee will be refunded in full their entry fee if the 2007 Tour does not happen in full as we originally planned. If the tournament schedule is cut short or modified, which is very likely to be the case, we will refund you in full. Your patience regarding this is appreciated. We will make this up to you in the future. We should know the status of the 2007 Tour within the next several months.
Your support and patience is appreciated. Your frustration and disappointment is acknowledged. Nobody is more financially committed to this venture than me. Nobody has more money at stake than I do.
Currently we are making headway on several promising business fronts. Major companies are seriously evaluating sponsorship of the IPT for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. A merger or acquisition of the IPT by a large business is being evaluated. Concurrently taking the IPT public is also an option being worked on and discussed.
I clearly see in my mind the day when I will stand before you all in a players meeting as we begin our next tournament and proudly say that the IPT is back and here to stay!
Very truly yours,
Kevin Trudeau

That letter is SO reassuring. At last, I'll finally be able to get some sleep at night.

What is the IPT?
A flash in the pan.
It is gone. Dead in the water. Old news.
Right now I have this letter from this nice Nigerian who wants me to help him transfer millions of dollars for him. more money to be made there than the IPT.

This is a crock. First, Kevin says everyone will be paid in full before another IPT event happens in 2007. Then he says they'll be paid every other month. Then he says the 2007 schedule will likely be cut short. Then he says he'll "know more" within the next several months. NEWSFLASH...2007 is OVER in the next several months. KT is, has been, and will continue to be a conman, and a piece of work. As well as I feel like I know Deno, I can't believe he continues to be a part of this b.s.
