Stars pay back US players in return for being allowed back into the US market and GBT will pay back the rest of world players and reopen FTP but not in the US market?
Everything seems possible, minus the Stars back into the US part. Ceasar's/MGM/Tribal Lobbying Groups paid politicans LOTS of money to get them out of the country. I'm sure PartyPoker would back that truck up as well (ironically). They'll want to have at LEAST 3-5 years of online poker market exclusivity before the worldwide leader in poker software comes back into the US.
Not to say, that PokerStars can ALSO pay off some NV pols and setup in that state, however......the DOJ would look petty if Stars were just allowed to go back into business, even though this would be an impressive display of charity. If this happens, you can pretty much erase all my critizism on how they handled the FPP scenario.
