This actual story goes back before the Party Poker software and to the days when this company was involved in the audiotext (phonesex) business. The two partners at the time formed a business relationship with Ruth Parasol to do some kind of phonesex numbers. The deal didn't work out very well and it must have left a bitter taste in one of the partners mouth. A few years later when our company had put the phonesex business behind us and was focusing primarily on adult web sites, gaming and dating Ruth apparently came with a proposal about gaming software she was developing. One of the partners felt that the software was an inferior product and that we could develop something better. Whether this was out of spite or the fact that the software really wasn't very good I'll never know. I do know that we passed on the opportunity to start the relationship right there. We eventually scrapped the gaming division of our company due to some shady dealing by the person that was running it.

Now does this mean we missed out on the Party Poker sweepstakes? Not at all. Who knows where the relationship would have gone. It was just one of the incidents that helped form the current structure of our company today. And I for one am pretty happy with the way things are going. From the top down for the past few years I think we finally have gotten the right team in place and the results show.
