If the Team Full Tilt members who have benefited millions of dollars from poker growing on the internet, getting endorsements, red team benefits, and increased live tournament prize pools, would have stepped up weeks ago and guaranteed that we would get paid, even if it had to come from them, FTP would have a much higher player approval rate.
They would have had much better prospects at future business.
Late is better than never. Step up Lederer, Ivey, Furguson, Juanda, Harman, Gordon, Lingren, Seidel, Bloch, Matusow, Hansen, Cunningham, Antonius, and Dwan.
This is hilarious.
Unless there is proof from DoJ that some of them was aware that FTP was doing something illegal they aren't responsible for any money. Legally or morally.
Disregarding that, do you think most of those players have gotten anything close to $15 million each from FTP endorsements? You want them to pay FTPs debt because they made money from poker in general? That thinking would be interesting to apply in everyday life.
FTP has money. And are making more every day. They just need to figure out their accounting.
