So is there any truth to the post (by a new acct) claiming there will be some type of announcement/press release on the 11th or 12th of this week?

There are 4 or 5 people that have made the difference between in complete darkness and having decent information given the situation. NoahSD and DiamondFlush are 2 of them, saying anything else is pure crap. Ban imo.

phil ivey is playing at the world series this year and as far as im concerned he is almost as responsible. he borrowed millions from the site after being paid millions and then concocted a crazy lawsuit to protect his interest... nobody has kicked the shy** out of him yet, so if the deal is announced i can easily see chris and howard showing up. there will be some booing and such but theyll have their 100 million dollar security team and wont be touched. the masses will be placated by the unexpected bonus of their full tilt cashback

I'm with you Howard. I still don't understand why someone would post this detailed hypothetical, and then say that part of it is not hypothetical, without knowledge of some important facts. My experience in similar situations is that not even the principals are sure it is a done deal until the agreement(s) are inked.

I'd love for those guys to think they're going to get a warm or lukewarm reception if a deal happens. We're reverse free-rolling ourselves by publicly saying we won't forgive them. I personally can't wait to hopefully someday get my Full Tilt money back, and see those guys back at the poker tables doing what they do best. No hard feelings bros, just get us our money back!

I think I agree with this. If I get my money back, I have no problem with putting everthing in the past. That doesn't mean I trust anyone, just that it's over and let's move on.

Judging from the reaction, the most common response being 'so this means we are getting paid?', I'd say the water is fine - or would be IF there were an announcement.

I think it's been made clear that DF's post was nothing; but when DF, the person many people have called "one of the two most trusted posters itt," posts a detailed hypothetical resolution, and then says that part of it is not hypothetical, it's hard to think there is not some fact behind it.

I read it a bit differently. That may be someone's plan, but any settlement of FTP's issues necessarily involves attorneys from DOJ and a federal judge (and quite likely but not definitively, PS). What one person may plan on, does not necessarily match the plans of everyone else.

So I look at it more as, well, this is what someone *wants* to happen. Maybe it can, maybe it can't, but it's not something that one person is going to be able to actually ensure happens.

I added the emphasis on the if.

The truth behind it, what she seems to want everyone to know, is that Mr. Hypothetical hasn't actually done anything to help players get repaid, probably has slowed/hurt the process, but is planning to take credit if this (or any other) deal goes through.

My entire roll was on FTP.

Used it as a bank. Even as a ROW player I could only get some out, because i hit max withdrawal limits.

I can't wait for the five year anniversary when people are saying that it's the next landmark date we are all waiting for. By then It will be the DOJ that is rumored to be negotiating with itself to buy FTP and pay us all back. Just be patient and wait 4 more years. One time !!!!

Been thru this many times before. Some guys were a little stupid or oblivious about leaving so much in their accounts, BUT many more tried to withdraw and just couldn't get it done in time before the total collapse of FTP, for reasons that are very clear NOW, but not back then.

No i cannot reveal where i heard this and i am sorry for that. nevertheless i assure you that this is the timeline that i have been given and trust this 100%

Some people have been taking this moron seriously from these quotes above, so let's compare that to his previous claims on his last 2+2 account shall we?

Jobs have been put on hold for now.

New recruitment drive will start in the next 1/2 weeks.

An announcement will not take place for another 3/4 weeks.

Good luck all

Tompakee signing outta this thread and others all because this guy couldn't look at an extra 3 words and a smiley at the end of my posts lol

So that's a prick and massive attention whore lying to you before about essentially the same thing and now he's doing it again with the same details. And since he's pretending to have some veracity for these claims some poor fools in here are actually believing him. Just wants the attention.

Trolling and getting people's hopes up like that in this thread should probably be a banning offense.
