I guess it now makes sense why Pappas was practicing that avoidance:Quote:

From a user on 2+2:
I believe on radio Rich said something like individual contributions made up less than half, but these numbers really surprise me. Can this be confirmed?Quote:

Go back and listen. I should have kept pressing, but the "mood" of the discussion at that point was much less contentious than it was later, so I let it go. In hindsight, I really should have kept demanding the exact (or close to exact) percentages, or demanded to know the reason why it was a secret.
This $5.2 million to $50.2 thousand ratio means that about 99% of the money came from poker sites, unless the "other contributions" also involved a lot of money donated by members, which I think is unlikely.
This really shines a light on the fact that pretty much everyone has suspected all along -- the PPA is a lobbying organization bought and paid for by the large poker sites, just as FairPlayUSA was a lobbying organization bought and paid for by the large casinos.
