A Danish entrepreneur is defending
claims over how much he has spent in an effort to make his online gambling site one of the
largest in the world by the end of 2008. The man in question was given $22
million to promote an online casino. The thirty-one year old man claimed he was targeting Scandinavia and Germany with fund-raising efforts with his large budget and that each country would have television and radio commercials at the end of the year in 2007. Critics point out that none of these questionable fund-raising events or television or radio ads have been done. The only proof of advertising was found in poker magazines. The original plan was to bring 250,000 players to their internet gambling site by the middle of last year. The lenders were supposed to put in close to a thousand dollars per person and the hope was to recruit forty thousand investors. The Danish entrepreneur still claims he has made deals with television and radio companies, but also with taxis in Scandinavia. Taxis were to be slapped with posters across the door panels and six hundred full page magazine and newspaper ads were supposed to be in the works. Part of the big plan was to make a team of pro poker players to play live tournaments all over the world. In the end it seems this expensive ad campaign was an extensive scam thought up by the entrepreneur. If he is found to be guilty he will be more than knee deep in debt. |
