lol at not paying cause of the us situation. i thought you were better than that barry greenstein 'robin hood of poker'. WTFWTFWTF.

I dont get why BG has to care about where the money will go.I mean Ivey Durrr or any other ftp pro can play that card cause they were basically ftp's image.

heres why. its cause they dont give a **** and it's another reason to stall on paying a debt they prob thought they weren't going to have to.

It was a rhetorical question but thanks anyway for making it clear to the others also hah.

I'm sure if the deal hinged on this Barry would pay out in a second. Barry wants to make sure the money goes to the players and not to Tapie's pockets, I don't see anything where he says he wouldn't pay. There are people on that list I'd be worried about but I don't see where this hate towards Barry is coming from.

Take it to the degen thread in BBV!

When i borrow 50 euro and the next day i have 100 i usually pay the debt in a second i wont start a thread on 2p2 sharing my thoughts.No hate seriously just stating the obvious.

greek giving economy advice, this doesnt look too good... jk

I had a prop bet that i could dodge the "----> greek" comments for more than 10 posts.I rly hate u.

Let the grown ups talk. I don't get all the hate for murderers....I mean, at least they are trying to apologize once they get caught.

Barry is obviously not as innocent as a lot of you want to think. He only came out with a statement because he had no other choice. He does have an opportunity to set a few things straight and come out with info about his pals before he once again, has to.

haha, sorry bro!

Comparing this to murder? Wow stretch much? Let grown ups talk? This is filled with so much fail it hurts.

He had to comment??? Show me one person responding on a message board to any of us. This is exactly why no one comes on here to answer questions. Like this attack
On him is going to encourage anyone to talk.

'Cause the rest don't care what you think. They no longer care about their image. They've given up on the poker gravy train and are hoping this will just fade away.

BG cares what you think. Cares more about his image than probably anyone in poker. Is still squeezing checks from PStars. But like the others, he's also hoping this will just fade away.

BG's post makes him worse than Ivey in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, Ivey's still scum.

just pay the money back, it doens't matter if it's going to ftp or GBT, you owe money and now the money that you owe is affecting the process of the entire process. pay off your debt and give all players a break.

Probably the best post in this thread.

If he has donated millions to charity, why is he screwing us over a $400k debt?

Like I said, let the grown ups talk.

Ya, no one laughed at the out of place movie line comment the first time. Yet you fail again. Well done. What's next? Are you gonna tell someone that their mouth is Writing checks that they can't cash?

because hes bustooooo

they r ****ing hookers with our money right now for gods sake

1. $400K is not going to get ANYONE paid (ROW or US) so whether he pays now or after a deal is struck shouldn't really matter.
2. If $400K is a deal breaker for GBT then that's a major LOL!!!
3. If anyone of us were in any of these FTP pro's situation, we would probably be doing the same thing. It's ridiculous that it's come to this, but at the same time, all of these guys were just handed a 6-7 figure freeroll. Sure, they SHOULD pay back the debts, but if FTP goes under, they are off the hook for what was loaned to them. These guys clearly don't care what happens to the rest of the players and are just looking at the best line for THEMSELVES. I'd say about 98% of us would do the same thing...and anyone who says otherwise, is just saying that because you want your FTP money back.

Joey, you better talk nicer to me...er I mean if you want to encourage me to talk.

Also quit calling legit criticisms "attacks"...grown ups know the difference.

What was the point in time that they had enough to cover player deposits?

He is clearly refusing to pay. He talks about maybe paying some DOJ fund. But he doesn’t owe the money to a DOJ fund. Even if he paid the money to a DOJ fund he would still owe the money to FT

got em

Great point sir, welcome to 2+2. Half these kids circle jerked "high stakes MTTs" on Full Tilt on PS, lol, and thought they were so cool.
