The First Hall Civil Court of Malta has ruled in favor of PokerTrillion.com, authorizing the seizure of Boss Media Malta Limited and Boss Media AB servers, which will now have to stop all its business and commercial activities on September 18^th, 2008. According to an unnamed source, the court’s decision regarding this issue is final and Boss Media will not be allowed to appeal the court’s decision.

Boss Media said that its legal team is currently investigating several legal options regarding its properties and goods in Malta. The company representatives also expressed that Boss Media business will continue to operate "with the highest standards."

The war between the two companies started in April, when PokerTrillion.com attempted to freeze Boss Holdings and Boss Media Malta Poker bank accounts at seven of the banks used by Boss Media. The freezing order was then followed by a €45 million lawsuit for supposed fraudulent and potential criminal activities of various personnel and management of Boss Media, and associated companies in Sweden and Malta. According to Boss Media, PokerTrillion "was terminated because of rake back violations”.

“The decision will in effect bring down Boss Media’s operation in their licensed jurisdiction of Malta on September 18, and any partner still on the Boss (IPN) Poker Network at this stage will see their service closed down too” said PokerTrillion.com CEO, Andy Pyrah.

On the other hand, Boss Media said that everything about this lawsuit is about jealousy and bitterness.

"Poker Trillion's recent comments are a reckless attempt to support a legal action that is without merit and initiated as retribution for their dismissal from the Boss Media network…They have since then repeatedly tried to disrupt the Boss Media business through the dissemination of groundless rumors.Boss Media explained that in April 2008 Poker Trillion alleged in a press release a claim that among other things, Boss Media player funds were frozen. The allegations were false but typical of the type of tactics employed by Poker Trillion." Boss Media said a statement.

Boss Media's International Poker Network (IPN) is the seventh-largest online poker network based on the  traffic received. The network, which currently don't accept U.S. players provides service to online gaming sites such as SportingBet.com, William Hill, Casino Club, Bwin, Virgin Poker and Celeb Poker.
