Online Poker Site pokertrillion announced that it was leaving the Boss Media poker network, as well the fact that they have taken legal action against Boss Media, as well as alleging fraudulent and possibly criminal activity by Boss Media. Boss Media (owners of the Webollar e-cash payment processor - and part of the Boss Media poker sofware) have had a substantial amount of money frozen, and one can only speculate if this affects their ability to pay players who wish to cash out.

A statement obtained by poker news site UK Gambling Forums from PokerTrillion to today said:

On Friday 11th April 2008 POKERTRILLION.com achieved a freezing order of the bank accounts of Boss Holdings Limited and Boss Media Malta Poker Ltd. The freezing order was executed at five of the banks where they hold accounts, and it will be executed at the reaming two banks early Monday morning. The freezing order has been made in conjunction and relating to a €45million initial law suit being taken by POKERTRILLION against Boss Media and Webdollar for alleged fraudulent, and potential criminal activities of various personnel and/or the management of Boss Media, or their associated companies in various jurisdictions including but not restricted to, Sweden and Malta.
