So technically, China wins the bets, correct?

Maybe I wasn't clear either. My source was verified

who needs player pay out......wanna use my FT bankroll to play FT software

They announced something. Just not to the public, just to him! Was it specified it had to be publicly?

Verified by a man who calls him self dan druff. Now that's reputable

LOL, I have no idea, just wondered if I could make Joey's head explode by suggesting it.

(1) It depends on what kind of contracts they had with FTP, but my guess would be that the contracts were either set to expire after a certain amount of time and/or there may be some clause where either the players or the site could get out of the contract if there was a change of ownership or something. Also, since FTP probably hasn't been paying the pros since the shutdown, they would likely not be obligated to work for the site if it restarts.

(2) As far as why they haven't gone to Stars, I doubt that Stars has much need to sign mostly American pros, who do not have much name recognition outside of the States, especially ones who are generally viewed as weak players by most of the online community.

This is so hilarious that some busto sports bettor and limit poker player is pretending to be the one guy that is privy to inside info on a multi million dollar business deal. I'm sure as soon as negotiations end for the day the top executives say quick get china man on the phone. Then let Dan druff know that we are seriously telling him the info. Just google china and find his real identity. Says it all.

That's because no one really knows the answer. The fact that you are posting about this makes you a target for scorn from many on this thread, because it is so low a priority compared to the other aspects. Be prepared for flaming if you continue, but it is certainly your right to post if you want to . NVG can be a rough tavern LOL

It's getting close to exploding.

Am I the only one left on the china bandwagon?

I agree with your assessment of the information, but if you ever heard China talk on a podcast you'd know he isn't 'creative' enough to concoct this story, someone is feeding him this drivel.

I am still. Have faith, stay strong!

At least the thread is entertaining again. We can thank Chinamaniac for that. I would rather read BS from Chinamaniac than a wall of text from DTM.

Now that u mention it, where is DTM? when 2+2 was out i was thinking that in the meantime he must have written a novel or something

The peanut gallery in this thread is out of hand. Needs some moding

I think I already knew all that insider information and I dont even know anything.

come on now, you suspected that a big issue in a deal with ftp would be the money? how can money be an issue here, i thought that the discussions were about biscuits and cookies

Who is dtm?

I forgot that this thread has many stages of it's life cycle. I think he's before your time here. DoTheMath.

how about just nuke this thread altogether?

Stop it.

at this point I wouldn't mind getting a prediction from this guy

Next Monday hopefully there will be an announcement

He is dead unfortunately. But I am guessing on his last dying breath he said...
