Response regarding money I owe to Full Tilt - Page 9 - Poker News

bizzle03 · 02-02-2012, 07:27 PM

Have Durrrr or any other pros stated what they plan to do about the owed funds yet?

I am astonished by all the Barry-love here.

The guy borrowed money, held the debt for years, and now refuses to pay it back. His excuse is that he doesn't like the way the debtor (first FT, soon-to-be Tapie Group) may use the money. That's absurd! Pay back the money you owe!

Analogy: I owe SpanAir Money (airline just went broke). Bankruptcy judge says "pay up." I say "no, because the money might not go to flight attendants stiffed on last week pay." BS. Pay your debt.

Barry borrowed this money years and years ago and he still has not paid it back to this day. What makes everyone think he has the intentions to pay it back now. If he had intentions to pay it back it would of been paid back long time ago

Barry G is the man

If only Ivey and co would do the same, we could start putting this mess behind us. Where are you, Ivey?

Not paying his debt will not help US players get their money back

Also why does Barry have moral obligations to US players, and not to the entire FTP player base? I really don't understand his argument for not paying his debt

He's at the dice table with his Aussie Millions score that he funded with your money.

Yes, I do know what it says but who can you believe. We can believe Barry here, no reason not to. If Ivey or anyone else made a statement, then we might know exactly what is going on.

I imagine all the players who owe money received a similar letter from GBT's lawyer. I wonder what Layne Flack did with his? Probably rolled it up into a tight tube and snorted some Ritalin with it.

I understand your desire to ensure that money is returned to US players; it seems like you could contract a deal relatively easily with GBT that ensures your 400k repayment is included as a part of GBT's payment to the DOJ.

At this point, we'd rather have you pay your debt to FTP directly to GBT than have any further delays/roadblocks that could throw off the entire process.

As always, I appreciate you taking a proactive stance and responding publicly. I also appreciate your efforts on behalf of the players and am very confident in your good intentions.

Thanks,
Andrew

The debt should be repaid under the condition that if the deal falls through, GBT will put the money in a FTP account.
