Because FullTilt could not pay their players, their gaming license was revoked, shutting down their site completely, Since then, numerous parties have bee rumored to been in negotiations with FTP, but nothing concrete has happened. PokerStars is the latest entity to join this group, although it appears this deal might actually go through.
