and u are?

@Brian
What's your gut feeling atm sir?

That was his sources promise and was only 99.99% / 99,99% sure.

ZBT = China

obv

Stars and the DOJ(and probably some other people too) are working towards getting a deal done. Absolutely noone benefits from it taking any longer than it has to, so therefore I have to believe they are working to get it done ASAP. It may get done, may not, but we should know something sooner rather than later. At least in relation to the way the Tapie deal fell through.

I know that's super vague, but that's just where we stand. Little details change all the time, so there's no reason to speculate over any of them.

The bottom line is that if Stars sent out a press release 30 minutes from now saying the deal has been completed in principle, it wouldn't shock me at all. If we knew absolutely nothing in two weeks that we don't know now, I also would not be surprised at all. If we don't know anything in 3 months, I'd really begin to wonder if wtf is happening.

Tilt staff got paid today. So either Tapie was full of **** trying to scare key employees of FTP into joining him with the 'only enough money to last until end of April' or Stars just shipped some cheese over to Dublin.

thats good news

Where did you hear this?

Actually, he didn't post inside information before. He posted what he alleged to be inside information.

A better way to word it:

No more worries, I asked my source about FTP and he answered:

"The question that you have in your mind will very soon have favourable results. You are bound to get a very favouable answer to your problem. Be on action"

He'll be back. Every time he says "I'm leaving the thread", he comes in a few hours later and posts 20 times. He hasn't left the thread, he's simply not actively on at this very second. He can't help himself.

(also chinamaniac and his wrong source have no idea how business deals work especially when buying out a competitor)

Listen he has admitted his source lied about a deal being done.

Why is he not banned, again. This is dumb.

Thread meltdown underway.

markksman are you serious bro? like fkn really? why do you care? this is an internet message board and some dude is spouting off through his computer.

you are the idiot complaining about him needing to be banned. wtf good does that do? honestly, do you think anything through before you post?

pls talk about ftp or don't post

The biggest problem is 99.99% of the people reporting on it know eff all about business or how business deals/legal deals and the rest work. None of this is about poker, it is business.

This leads all leaked and pretend information is filtered through people who are clueless. Chinamaniacs source was positive a deal was done three weeks ago. Now he says the only difference is management of hundreds of millions of dollars.

For all of you who don't know that is one of the biggest issues on the table so this deal has never been close to being done. This means chinas source is a tard who knows nothing about business deals or doesn't exist.

Nobody who has only clue or experiencing in negotiating deals would ever claim such circumstances as what china now claims anything but not yet close.

Even if this were true chinas own posting of this information proves his source was 100% wrong previously.

Please Pokertards stop reporting information about business deals as you are clueless. This is ridiculous.

Yea tons of benchmarks to look at for purchasing your competitor's seized assets from the DOJ. I'm sure your an expert.

The people attacking China are much worse, destroying this threads readability.

It is also about extricating your business out of federal criminal indictments and other legal issues, which I can confidently state that most of the people in this thread know even less about, than they think they know about business deals.

You, your source and the guy who verified it are idiots at best and liars at worst.

Are reporting information you don't understand after being tricked by someone else before... Never crossed your mind someone else did not just take advantage of you being a gullible no nothing?

Disagreed.

Markksman is definitely qualified being that he has sold and bought companies worth 100+ million.

Ask him yourself.

How many did he negotiate with the DOJ?

Why would they be lying? I belive him that this source was verified.

However, and the reason many were clamoring (myself included) for him to use DF or Noah to verify the source, he needed to verify the information. That's why I doubted the veracity of the information the moment he refused to do so (plus my own source told me he was full of it).
