Hi Lou,
Im an affiliate whos always buried in own work so I dont always keep up to date with whats going on in the industry.
Ive pretty much only come across this recent cardspike etc issue today after reading some of casinomeisters questions in another thread.
I dont particapate here loads, but I do refer to CAP and think its a great forum/community.
So thanks for that.
As regards the issues, if you have made mistakes, just come clean about everything and then work on the soloution. In my brief look at the recent issues it looks worse if others are uncovering evidence after denials. So come clean and stop this issue in its tracks and dont give others (who I also respect) the ammo. This industry should work together and not be at war with each other.
Consider starting a fresh and forging better relationships (if possible) with those that have been silenced on these boards. Or work out ways that through these tough times everything will work out for the better.
If its affecting your health take a break, but also take other peoples advice and consider not retiring. Or at least take time to think that important decision through. Its highly likely your not thinking straight at the moment anyway, so delay any decisions.
All the best.
