Re: AGCC/FTP Hearing Thread

The players do have some of the responsibility but Full Tilt's responsibility is much larger and much more relevant. Yeah we were all taking a risk playing on these sites but that doesn't give them a free pass to behave irresponsibly. It's also a little hard to see all the risks when FT was going out of it's way to hide things/ not be transparent.

This is the same company that post BF announced their global business was healthy and operating as normal. ~ A month later they get shut down and a bunch of non-US players have money stuck. It's a joke.

Sad thing is there's a good chance we find out even more shady stuff FT was up to.

One thing for sure though is I won't end up in this situation again.

Re: AGCC/FTP Hearing Thread

CEO of ChiliPoker just reported on QJ radio that FTP is still in exclusive negotiations and that ARJEL has extended their period to allow the audit to continue and he expects AGCC to follow suit, so nothing new today from the AGCC....supposedly

Also reported that the license was suspended for not having sufficient funds to cover the ratio of player funds, so the audit needs to finish to satisfy this requirement and have the license reinstated.

Edit: additional info
Revenue: Just under $1B last year, company paid dividends every year.
Source: European regulatory body

Re: AGCC/FTP Hearing Thread

EDIT: it's apparently Alexandre Dreyfus, Chilipoker CEO

he's saying the hearing will just consist of FTP standing up and refusing to speak because of ongoing negotiations.

From @Alex_Dreyfus: "A source from a 'European regulatory body' tells me the hearing today will most likely be delayed, audit not finished."
