Same jobs, less than before and just updated. Interesting no Tech roles yet, there was a mass exodus from FTP of Tech guys and gals, so have they come back, are PS going to take them over or what?

That could be right GoMuck, but with the amount of Investigators on 2+2 we would of found them advertising them elsewhere by now.

OK , likely there will be some kind of announcement eventully. Do we agree that it will certainly be coming from PS directly and a general release to ALL outlets and sites at once? If so there is really not much else to do but wait it out. So we chat, gossip, speculate, and flame about it. NVG at its best and worst, nothing new. GL to all!

I don't doubt that Pokerstars has/is in discussions about FTP but still they would need to get something worth the money out of it and it is not clear that the equity exists in all shapes and forms to do that.

Some of us said tge Tapie deal didn't make sense unless he was essentially getting it for nothing. That was the case. I know people want their money but when I still read posts where it sounds like people have put their life on pause for this to resolve I want to slap them goofy.

All of us had to know early on the mess that FTP was shown to be being traded for everyone's money back was nearly a pipe dream. Everyone should have proceeded accordingly. I can still see a few possible items that might make the deal worthwhile but I have a hard time seeing why the other party would give it to them.

Back to the point Pokerstars not saying anything means nothing now because they are probably being gagged by the DOJ.

I wish everyone well but anyone just waiting on their money is doing themselves a disservice.

What's so good about this post? A guy that writes an essay, and reads the forum must have just as much wishful thinking as anyone else. IMO. Do you see how often he posts in this thread in the last 30 days, I mean black friday was over a year ago. Instead of telling ppl to move on with their lives, maybe he should move on with his?

I know a few ppl that say "move on with your life" like it's easier said then done, but in reality they are hoping/hurting for money just as bad as anyone.
