Her tweet today. I know this isn't a smoking gun, but seriously, what will happen to the top dogs - howard, the two phils, edog, etc? (Mods move this or delete it if you think necessary...not trying to start something, just concerned for those guys too).

Still mulling over what happened Friday. Obviously, my brother is top of my thoughts.

She should worry more since she reps or at least did rep a site that stole from poker players.

I suppose this other tweet from her is telling as well:

Annie Duke

One thing I know for sure is that this reaffirms my belief that online poker needs regulation.

Yeah her poor brother somehow amassed 10's of millions of dollars when not being able to play poker a lick. While the rest of us studied the crap out of the game and mastered it to the best of our ability only to have our money stolen. I feel really really bad for Howard Lederer(cough cough sarcasm).

Howard should go to jail, someone needs to pay for FTP's terrible customer support over the years, and the fiasco of deposits, and withdrawals over the pay 8 months.

lol...im pretty sure she isnt concerned about howard losing his "sponsorship"since he has a much larger role in the company than just a player.

he is incredibly smart making so much money off everyone else doing the grinding...its funny how so many of these "professional poker players" dont play poker professionally at all

I thought I read SOMEWHERE on 2+2 that those guys owned like a point and a half of FT?

WOW talking about how FTP came together.
"Some people paid money, some people were givin shares for their roles, howard didnt have any money, he took a role."
Howard Ledered use to be broke back in teh days playing cards at the mayfair in nyc. sleeping on coachs, broke on the street.
talking about howard being CEO

howard was an errand boy at mayfair in ny before he got big from fulltilt. he went from a broke joe to a wannabe big baller snob.

So, not to stir up more...remember the dude that posted a year or so ago about the feds questioning Washington players about processors...still think he was lying?

If anything Ivey and Patrik are untouchable, they are 100 percent proof that poker is a game of skill.

The only fully TV pros I actually feel a little bad for is Ivey since he's such a Craps degen. You know most of them were living off of the sites rake and maybe DN. I wonder when/if he will even make a statement since he was/is the biggest face of poker.
