Peter has been in touch with me via facebook.
He said it was never his intentions to con me out of any money and that it was all an oversight which happened at a time when he was preoccupied with going to USA etc, not sure I believe him but thats another matter.
He said he is in a lot of debt at the moment and not sure how long it will take but that he will pay me back the £1k. Meanwhile he is staying away from poker until this is sorted.
He also said he will not be posting on this thread but asked me to post when he has paid me back in full which I have agreed to do.
Sounds like a good plan. Hope you get your money back soon.
I hope so too for his peace of mind more than anything.
Thank you to everyone who has helped to try and sort out this tricky situation.
