Interesting... I am curious to see what the process for cashing out looks like from the DOJ.

Kevmath just confirmed payment from PS to DOJ of the 225M should be completed by tomorrow COB. So by that thought, I'm hoping we should hear more about this remissions process by end of the week from the DOJ.

Also Wendeen's tweets make no sense to me... is she saying she has good news or bad news? I really can't even tell based off that cryptic tweet.

isn't "cloudy forecast... unwarranted" a good thing?

clearly

"potential unlikely not bad news regarding doubtfully doubtful speculations uncertain: more to come, or not"

Don't forget this is the same woman who the genius title of "Full Tilt PokerStars Negotiations in the can" when she knew the deal was successful.

A few people have contacted the SDNY and the response regarding when more information will be made available on the website has been anywhere from "soon" to "in a few weeks" fwiw.

FTP Doug returns to answer a few questions about the relaunch: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...hread-1232335/

Wow reading that is the first time in this process I've been sad and jealous of the ROW players. I think this must mean the anger is finally wearing off and the sadness of not being able to play on FTP when others can is kicking in.

I'm ready for legalization: http://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin...-online-poker/

Def a good thing to be published on forbes obv, butttttttt it was written by John Pappas, of course it's going to have the tone it did.

I listened to an interview with her and not only did I not learn any new information, I think I lost an IQ point or two for my trouble.

haha she randomly sat 5/10 at rio this summer and blessed us all with her knowledge of everything

I saw her twice at WSOP, both times sitting by herself in the WSOP/Rio cafeteria. Clearly I missed the chance to get a big scoop.

bout time someone who has good reason to know of what they speak pwns the underinformed who have been needlessly spewing doomsday scenarios

But what about my Iron Man medals? I still have my Black Card!

I had like 1.3 mil points. That's no joke.

medals have already been converted into FTPs for all accounts.....pay better attention

same....$5-$6k in value which was, according to Ifrah (and yes, he might know a bit more than any of you about this), was included in the figures which were released long ago regarding FTP's total debt to ROW (~$184m iirc) and US (~$160m iirc)

But what about my Black Card? And I think I was registered for one of the Ironman Freerolls on BF, that has to be worth something!

In seriousness though, I'm pretty sure that 200 FTPs ~ $1, which means that 1.3MM FTPs ~ $6,500 so that's no joke indeed.

$4 per 1k FTPs was standard price, though fluctuated depending on value of item purchased from ~$3.5 to $4.5 per 1k

federal regulation by xmas or i tilt fly back to aus for aussie millions....who wants to lay me some tinfoil donkey odds

We should all do Aussie Millions. I've done it the last 2 years and will probably be doing it again this year. Now that we all will have money again (hopefully) it should be an awesome way to celebrate.

Link currently seems to be down but Wendeen strikes again with misleading wording prior to an article:

http://www.pokerplayernewspaper.com/...-america-12334

At the top of his list of reasons to show players the money—that is, all of their money—are common sense fairness issues: ROW players are getting theirs; PokerStars players got theirs last year—with the blessings and explicit permission of the DOJ, and, he notes, FTP players were duped into believing they should leave their monies at the site, assured the safety of their player balances. The PPA, under the leadership of Executive Director John Pappas, has reached a sufficient level of credibility that the DOJ sees fit to take a listen. That’s real progress!
From the article you sited.

This really would be extremely unfair if we weren't paid our full balances given the reasons mentioned above. Fingers crossed for U.S. players. . .
