We are either going to get it or we won't. Since this has happened.. I haven't understood the "US players money is currently worth "x.xx on the 1.00" Since we can't transfer or anything it is either worth all of it or nothing..
This. US players either get the money, or they don't. It's 50/50

every hand in poker is 50/50. you either win or you don't. What's so hard to understand about this? jesus I'd expect a bunch of poker players to understand the maths better.

Seriously, why do we care what Tony G, the biggest douche in poker (seriously, PH doesn't hold a candle to this guy), has to say about anything?

Seriously, watch this ridiculousness.

Tony G is a shrewd business man who knows exactly what to say to further his own position.

To ask Lederer, Ivey and Ferguson to pony up the money is laughable. It's about as laughable as asking Enron shareholders to pay for the shortfall created by the managers.

Lederer, Ivey and Ferguson may or may not have some say in the running of FTP but let's not get carried away here. If you adopt this position then the owners of every company now have a liability to cover the problems created by the managers.

So...think of Tyco, Union Carbide in Bopal, BP in the Gulf and the list goes on.

Be concerned for sure but be sensible.
Enron isn't even comparable here. The investors bought into the business there. In this case players placed money on the site in good and reasonable faith that it was being safely segregated from all operational expenses. At no point did FTP 'own' the money nor at any point was our money a part of the business operations of FTP.

If our money is not returned Lederer, Ivey, Ferguson, etc will be held accountable and it will be absolutely justified.

Did someone say Tony G gets commission checks from Full Tilt every month??? What's the connection between FullTilt and Party Poker, or isn't there one at this time?

IIRC, the affiliation with Full Tilt is from PokerNews, not Party.

Right now he is a (loud) voice for the voice-less(Me!) He is spreading our thoughts and frustrations. I dont know of ANYONE who is doing this for me. Yes my hero! Even though

Full tilt pays Tony G large commissions regularly. Yet he attacks there current actions and behavior. If he is single still spinning this to his advantage then So be it. I'm more concerned with the effect then the cause.

Yet this is exactly what tony 6 did when a company he was sponsored by went under for shady business practices! Used his own funds to return %50 of lost player funds . (STAND UP GUY) !

Actions speak louder than words. He might be a douche at the poker table, but I'm glad to hear that he's trying to get in touch with FTP and help the online community out. I can't say the same for 99% of the other pros.

Worth reiterating that Stars is in way worse shape than Tilt with the DOJ b/c they were much closer to the payment processors

Of course, I don't think people care what kind of shape Stars is because they're getting paid.
