Sometimes it's hard to imagine how there could be two sides to a story. This is not one of those instances.


cliffs: GBT is not your new best friend.
if GBT doesnt buy FTP then they do not have $80mm to payback US players [that is the amount GBT has agreed to pay DOJ for the assets]. if these pros do not payback their loans, there is a significant chance that GBT does not complete the deal. therefore if these pros do not payback their loans then there is a significant chance the DOJ will have $80mm less to payback US players
