Sounds like they wanted this to get public so that more open pressure is put on the players to repay. If any of the named guys refuse to pay now they will be outcasts in the poker world, they will never get sponsored by another site.

Can anyone comment on what exactly the sources are for all this stuff? Seems we are just fed a semi constant stream of drama related to the whole incident like its a reality tv show.

There was that thing with Jesus and his threats to stop the deal, but apparently that was just a rumor according to GBT, or was that just another stupid rumor?

"From Cardplayer magazine.

"According to Card Player’s source, Ivey and Lindgren both owe $4 million to the site, while Benyamine and Flack owe $2 million a piece. Matusow and Greenstein owe less."

Nice, glad to see Ivey and Lindgren getting a piece of the pie. Oh and I am sure Flack and Matusow have the funds to pay their debts. What a joke."

Yep played with Benyamine he was blaming the doj talking about how they had a ton of money frozen and if Stars had all that money frozen they wouldn't be able to pay out either. Now it turns out he has money borrowed and that's an obstacle in a deal getting done. What a scumbag.

They were planning on march, but that fell through.
There is no date in mind, and the deal may still fall apart completely.

Would be lucky if it came back this year imo.

Did that for sure fall through? Thought they were still aiming for that but obv it's getting less and less likely if those pros aren't going to pay back debts...

Can't remember exactly where I read it, but was pretty sure I did. Can't find it though so I might be wrong.

so there's a thread in NVG about how much you would need to play on FT again (I'm assuming this is for ROW players) and in there the OP writes "GBT is going to do a cost benefit analysis on the cost of retaining players vs cost of procuring it. I wouldn't be surprised if they pay us less than what we have. So how much would you settle for to keep playing on FTP if it does come back? "

Is GBT really considering not paying the ROW players at all? WAT?!? Or is OP just making stuff up?

I thought the question was how much would you settle for, not how much would you need to keep playing again. I don't know if I'd ever play on FTP again, but right now I'd settle for .70 on the dollar and happily take my money.

and fwiw I don't think GBT ever planned on paying everyone out right off the bat. At the minimum I would assume they were going to have low max withdrawal amounts and possible play through requirements. And that's assuming that this deal actually goes through.

At this point I'm having trouble seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. I've pretty much written that money off for this year, which is essentially just writing it off for the rest of my life. I guess if we ever do get paid it'll be a great windfall.

I read that thread and actually voted 0%. Call me crazy. I have no idea if I would ever play on FTP again, but my decision would be totally independent of getting my money back, it would depend totally on the value I assessed to the new FTP, the people running it, and the state of the games/player pool. I think it's a little silly to pass up what could be a huge +EV situation because you got screwed by Howard Lederer
