Well its true almost all hacked accounts are left with no money so its lucky his wife got more than she had before. As for the charity tourney, will you sit next to her when she plays those higher stake tourneys ? Maybe give her a few points before she plays those tourneys ^^

sorry, I've only read page 1, so hope is still relevant. I agree with donate to Haiti, if your wife does not want the il-gained funds. Just inform FTP of this decision, wait for a green light from them and then do it, otherwise, presumably FTP will remove the funds.

I wasn't sitting next to her as I was multitabling at Poker Stars. In the first charity tourney she was eliminated in the first hand: JJ vs ATo In the second tourney she ran rather deep but didn't make it to the money. In the third one she finished 7th (out of 65) for 130$ (but the buy in was 50 + 50$). She is also happy that at some point she was at the same table with Andy Bloch. And other time with Don Cheedle.

Hi!!
The money probably will be returned to the players who lose it. I think is important to make your account really secure. All sites give options to 'upgrade' it. Tokens, keys, etc..
