Tapie and Stars split the markets up maybe? Stars purchases and can enter US when it legislates and Tapie takes on ROW?

Just a guess obv. Seems unlikely with Tapie registering companies that he doesn't own some part of the 'new FTP'

While the DOJ is after Isai Scheinberg and his Son to get them on US soil .

bwin.party and Steve Wynn are intrested to buy 75% of Pokerstars, 25% belongs to several stars workers.

Steve Wynn is more intrested to pay the biggest part with shares from his own casinos.
This would put Isai and his family into a legal and also profitable business and they can maybe get rid of the DOJ .....as far as i have been told.

Lets see who make the race

sources told me this can be done in few months, party will not longer use their software and will use than Stars.

New name could be PartyStars

We need competition in this market, this is pretty bad for us (LONG TERM)

Pokerstars buys FullTilt for a consideration of $750m, including settlement with DOJ and full balances of players (330m). I'm impressed.

Haven't read the entire thread, but in case this is true, what's GBT's role in this whole deal?
04-24-2012 , 10:43 AM
in for disappointment.

In that case gbt will have worked for the owners of ps all along which explains why gbt have not rushed the deal to ensure that ps would not irreversible steal to many market shares for them to run a viable business. It would also explain ps confidence in releasing zoom poker.
It would also explain the secrecy surrounding ownership in the new full tilt company seeking license.
