Questions for John Pappas / PPA

1) Where can one find the annual financial filings for the Poker Players Alliance, a nonprofit organization, for the years 2009-2012? A link to this information does not seem to be present on the PPA website.

2) How much money did the PPA receive from corporate contributors PokerStars and Full Tilt, on a year-by-year basis? Please itemize: “Full Tilt’s contributions for the calendar year 2010 = $$$$” and so on. It’s okay to lump contributions to the PPA, to PokerPac, and to third-party organizations such as D’Amato’s firm together as a single total. I’m more interested in how much Stars and Tilt spent in $$$ that went through the PPA.

3) When did the PPA’s John Pappas first meet SunFirst Bank payment processor Jeremy Johnson? What was the nature of that meeting?

4) When did the PPA’s John Pappas first have contact with Jeremy Johnson, in the form of e-mails, phone calls, or through another medium? What was the nature of that contact, and for what purpose?

5) When did the PPA’s John Pappas first have contact with Mark Shurtleff and John Swallow, the former and present Utah Attorneys General? Was it due to Pappas’s prior work with Dittus Communications (and if so, on behalf of what lobbying cause), or was it through Pappas’s work as a staffer for Arizona Congressman John Shadegg?
I really should have consulted Haley before this interview. The Pappas questions wouldn't have likely been answered (since Rich isn't him, and can reasonably claim to not know), but I really wish I knew about #1 above, regarding the financial filings being unavailable.

I would be really curious to see these, as well. And if they're not made available, why is that?

I also wish I pressed harder for Rich to give the exact percentage of donations that came from Stars/Tilt.

No worries, though. Rich is posting in this thread and I would indeed like to know the answer to these, even if he can't answer the Pappas questions.

You realize you went into this "debate" interview with 100% opinions versus 100% facts, which is why you lost miserably. Which is also why her highness said you were unbelievably unprepared for said "debate".
