when chatting with renton, I realized that this whole fiasco is like a super drawn out sports game which I don't give an intrinsic fuck about, yet I was forced to bet on it. | |

KevMath seems to think the FTP servers were being tested for a short period today. | |

They were showing a smaller number of players and like 4 tournies running on their hp for me two hours ago when I woke up so I guess further testing. Now back to system maintenance. | |

As a non-invested, and relatively objective observer, I have to say that these signs are the most encouraging I've seen throughout this whole shitshow. A company doesn't typically start investing in hiring and/or testing if they're still stuck in a legal quagmire, or if the money isn't there yet. | |

I thought the deal with the DoJ required the Tapie group to fully repay US players. | |

Ya, idk, I haven't been following that closely, but I thought it was up to the DOJ to pay us back with the money they had seized, and the money they had seized seemed to be < the money owed. | |

all of these sites circle-jerking each other are now saying it's officially announced and confirmed that stars is buying FTP, but none of them seem to be able to say who is announcing or confirming or quote this announcement at all (just the one statement from GBT, that speculates that stars and doj are in bed) | |

Yeah, this I understand, and agree it's looking super hopeful. That's neither official nor an announcement though, was more just asking if I'd missed something that I should check out, or if it's just the news sites being liberal with their buzzwords | |

yeah there has been no official announcement, just word of mouth sources "confirming" this. | |

Hoping people finally get their FTP money but I'm saving my one time for bringing online poker back to 'merica. Does this help at all? Industry stability? | |

all the negatives about stars buying FTP that I've seen people raising seem to be speaking from the perspective that FTP is currently up and running in the market | |
04-24-2012 03:06 PM
#1034

yeah exactly. We may never know for sure what happened, maybe the DoJ tanked the deal on purpose, but it seems like a silly thing to be worrying about right now. | |

pretty sick if the US market call is true- have I missed any kind of legislation change or would it really just be the DOJ openly accepting a big-ass one-time payment to turn a blind eye to what they previous condemned? | |

Could Tapie have thought he was the only deal in town and tried to play hard ball. DOJ then negotiated behind his back |
04-24-2012 03:26 PM

no way us market rumor could be true, he must have meant something else. | |

3:38 PM ET Update: QuadJacks reports a leaked e-mail sent early on 4/24 from Ray Bitar to all of Full Tilt’s employees stating that PokerStars has agreed to acquire Full Tilt Poker and the deal is true. Full transcript not yet available. | |

maybe he means that for some reason Stars' brand cannot reenter for some reason, yet FTP can when the market opens up. Some sort of loophole and it would explain why stars values FTP so much. | |

someone on the 2p2 thread posted at some point earlier on that as part of the player repayment process stars signed stuff barring them from the US market, whereas FTP hasn't been through that process. | |
