Group Bernard Tapie unable to collect money from Ivey, Benyamine, etc.
Quote:
Behn Dayanim explained the situation to PokerStrategy.com:
"GBT doesn't want to acquire assets which will need to be litigated over later. In total, the sum owed to the company is between $10 and $20 million. Several of the players who owe money and have not yet expressed a willingness to pay their debts include Phil Ivey, Layne Flack, David Benyamine, and Erik Lindgren. Barry Greenstein, Mike Matusow, and others owe a smaller but still significant amount.
If the money doesn't come in, it creates a serious obstacle to completion of the deal. This isn't the only issue with the takeover, and the deal won't end on any one issue - but this is a substantial item."

If these guys DONT pay, then whoever "owns" full tilt should pay their debts off.

Is that the DOJ who now owns FTP or whatever it really was/is?

Why would they want to pay off their debts? The other questions is: Who would the Pros be for the site? Why would you keep the ones who owe money and are reluctant to pay it back?
