PokerNews' Rich Ryan caught up with Volpe on Thursday during the EPT Grand Final in Monaco to find out more. When asked what prompted him to leave Lock Poker, Volpe said: "I wasn't harassed or anything by them. I was never heavily involved."
He added, "I don't want to bash Lock, but if people aren't getting paid, then I don't want to be either."
While Moorman and Volpe ditched the site, several Lock Poker Elite Pro members have remained loyal to the brand. Melanie Weisner, Matt Stout and Brett Jungblut have spoken out about Lock's troubles in recent days via poker forums and social media sites. In a lengthy post at TwoPlusTwo.com on Friday, Weisner addressed the site's payment processing issues but claimed she has no input or knowledge of the site's financial situation.
"Despite our lack of involvement in the back-end of things, I know that all the pros have wanted to speak to the issue for some time, and have only waited this long in order to gather some real information about the current status of operations," Weisner said about the Lock Poker Elite Pro team on Friday. "We've spent a lot of time recently working on getting to the bottom of things. The entire Lock pro team met today in order to hash out all these issues and find solutions and information on what the future holds and what kind of improvements can be made, on what scale, and in what time frame."
Other members of the team like Michael Mizrachi and Annette Obrestad have been tight-lipped about their employer, but Obrestad was still seen donning a Lock Poker patch while playing the EPT Grand Final Main Event on Wednesday.
According to Stout, Lock Poker will be releasing a press release as early as today to clarify its cash-out issues. Stay tuned to PokerNews.com as we'll have more on this story as it develops.
