How about every competitor Stars has. I'd think it would be safe to say the reasons are pretty obvious.
Even the dinky little ones.

7th word in your post would be a good answer too.

If you don't beg for any known info and only want concrete facts that are zero speculation, flame on (approx 1% of people in this thread).

Nobody but the people who tweeted, posted, blogged or wrote articles are responsible for what they did, except themselves.

Claiming that by people wanting information. It forced their hand is absurd. Each of them are 100% responsible for any public claims or assertions they may have made.

Could the DoJ reach a settlement with Stars/FTP in which that account is forfeited to the DoJ and then litigate it out with Robb Evans?

I agree, it would make no sense to include the return of those funds as assets of FTP part of the deal, the government will either strike the claim that those accounts belong to Johnson's creditors and get to keep all of the money, or they won't, but it should not effect the deal.

I see the deal as a swan that's caught in a current and wants to swim to freedom. Even though the lawyers might be trying to show the swan how to get free of the current's pull, the judge might not want the swan to get free. All we can do as outside observers is say 'be strong little swan be strong' and wait with baited breath.

Guys, it is time to realize that no one has any ****ing sources, just pure bull**** talks

Announcement will come as a surprise, not as if everyone knew when it is going to come.

Unless it comes this week..... pessimistic views are lame, obviously its been a year and half but this would have been a better post if you wrote it a month ago+ and not during the week that everyone has high hopes again. Lets just hope for the best dude, nothing wrong with focusing on the positive side of things for a few days.
