As time went on, the poker site had even less money to pay its customers. By June, Full Tilt owed $300 million to players around the world but only had $6 million to pay them, according to the prosecutor's office.

If you are referring to Tuesday's announcement of indictments Full Tilt indictment you omitted in your list of defendants both Howard Ledere Chris Ferguson, who are both named in the indictment.
