LOL @ announcing an announcement. All we want to hear is that the players are getting paid. If that was happening they wouldn't delay that and would say it asap. Announcing an announcement just means "We got nothin'"

I apologize that you have to wait until next week. I have invited folks to write or call me personally for answers but only five of you have done so. So now I have opened an account here and will do my best to "unofficially" answer your questions from here.

And then next week will we have to wait another week for someone to create a troll account to announce another announcement?

Sigh. If they are open I hope they at least tell the truth. I'm not holding my breath.

Do you honestly believe that all players will get paid? or is Ftp just delaying things as far as they can? Is the investor possibility much lower now then it was a month ago?

THE ONLY QUESTION THAT MATTERS IS WHEN WILL WE GET PAID? All the other stuff can show up in the book that someone writes in a few years about the history of online poker.

Hey Mr. Ifrah,

I have two questions.

Is there any chance of all players getting paid without an outside investor providing a significant cash injection into FTP?

Is it known what date FTP will be absolutely forced into receivership if an outside investor has not been found?

Thank you for taking the time to try and answer our questions,

Mark

Also, considering FTP's first priority is the payment of players, how does the company now rationalize the turning down of a deal(s) considering the current position they are in?

Since FTP started the process of speaking with outside investors that has been their entire focus 24/7. They have made crystal clear to every investor that the US players and European players must be paid. I don't understand what you mean in your last question by "lower"?

Hi Jeff

Are FTP owners gonna use their personal assets to pay us if they cant find an investor?
Why cant FTP tell DOJ that the money they froze is player fund and ask DOJ to unfreeze the money to pay us?
Thanks.

How many employees are left at PK? Can anyone comment on the post quoting Melanie who was let go from security. Think it was basically saying security was getting bonuses for confiscating funds which led to widespread abuse by the person running the division.

Why is Ray Bitar still there?

Enough is enough. Like i said before, its like howard said. When we're ready.
How can we find some of these guys and hold them accountable now?

As I said, though I recognize that it's annoying for you guys to hear that information that they have right now and are willing to share won't be coming 'til later, I'm quite happy to be able to make public the fact that they've agreed to say something. Now, if they get cold feet, they'll have to decide between breaking a promise or going ahead as planned.

Would FTP be in this mess had their gaming license not been suspended? Wouldn't the chances of players being paid increase substantially if Alderney demanded FTP come up with a reasonable plan and timeframe to pay everyone back rather than asking FTP to raise the money all at once?
