Yeah thats my thoughts, they probly had the money tied up in investments of various types.

Re: FTP US Player Update 5/30

I wish I didn't just eat dinner,

because I feel like i'm about to lose what I just ate. I feel sick to my stomach right now, numb, with a sheen of sweat forming.

I want to know where any American "red pros" live, or certainly any of the public faces of Full tilt. Does anyone know their addresses or where they can be found? Thanks.

Dont worry Doug, I know you are just a mouthpiece, I dont hold you responsible.


I hope I am not the only one who is ready with pitchfork and torch in hand?

These ****ers better not show their faces in public. They need to be afraid right now.

They need to feel the fear that we feel, we who needed the money (and were making regular cash outs every month) in their account to make rent, or put food on the table. We dont all have the options some of the other players have, like unlimited family support or workable live bankrolls.

Re: FTP US Player Update 5/30

So it takes two weeks to make an "update" filled with information that everybody already knows? Bull **** Full Tilt, Bull ****. What is so wrong about letting your supposedly valued customers know what it actually going on? I dont care if you think it is going to take six months to raise the money to pay us back, I still want to know. How about with the next "update" you say how much money you have and how much money you need. Give us some real information.

+1 SJT. The indictments are a black swan effect that could be efficiently handled if FT had hedged against these scenarios. They "say" their business is healthy, yet they can't deliver capital to the customer base that brought them incredible revenue. These announcements are absolutely ridiculous. They leave us with these cliff hanger sentences

"There has been, and remains, no bigger priority than getting US players paid as soon as possible, and we have been working around the clock to get this done."

"to ensure that the US players are paid out in full as quickly as possible."

"FTP's worldwide business is healthy"

You are dealing with REAL people here FTP, people that have given you immense revenue and dedication to your site. I only played on your site because i believed that it would not only make me the most profit, but it delivered a high quality service. The money i have invested on your site is now frozen. Money that i worked hard for while expecting a liquidated return. Fortunately for myself i've been able to save properly, however, that money has been a savings account that i planned to use for future purposes. Leaving a personal diatribe behind, those future plans are now put on hold until you "feel up to" letting us withdrawal. I will quit this rant, but hope someone will relate to the describe anger.

The red pros as well as Team Full Tilt are all in one place right now: the WSOP.

Re: FTP US Player Update 5/30

2. Is FTP bankrupt?

No. FTP's worldwide business is healthy and, although we've had some short-term challenges, it is operating as normal.

You mean FTP exaggerated or outright lied about the health of their business? Unpossible!

Re: FTP US Player Update 5/30

Amazing how they admit the way they've handled this has been terrible....and then make an announcement with the exact same type of non-answer bull****

But hey at least he stopped calling it FTP Answers

Re: FTP US Player Update 5/30

ftp should have a sticky in internet poker that is locked and is edited each day by doug. this would absolutely lessen the outrage each time he makes an announcement

In the same breath they say we've been handling this poorly, then say their business is healthy all the while its declining worldwide. Why not keep handling it poorly I guess.
