Default Let's Buy PokerStars

You may have heard that PokerStars is up for sale. The family that owns it has set the price at 2 billion dollars (yes, with a B). If the sale occurs for that price, it would be one of the biggest sales in recent poker history.

A group of RGPers got together and decided that players should own PokerStars; namely, them. They appear to be serious about the plan, and are selling shares for $1 a piece. From the group's web site:

All we would need to do is get enough players to buy up 2 Billion dollars worth of shares, and we'll be set!

Are there two billion interested poker players in the world??? There might be...they claim 168,497 shares sold already.
