Oh it is, whatever they get from the sale of assets would not cover legal fees. Don't forget the lawyers always have theirs first.....

Who said anything about AP/UB funds being paid? You people read way to much into everything?

Want to tell me who has agreed to buy the AP/UB assets and repay players?

What? You think PS is also repaying AP/UB players just for grins? Maybe the Government is going to take my tax dollars and repay you?

For those of you who don't really understand all the legal words in that Motion filed by the US, it's basically both US and AP agreed to settle the case with AP forfeited all their assets to the US. So basically DOJ owns AP now (after the Judge signs the order).

Next news should be about FTP. hold your horses.

Based on my reading, here are some cliffs on this document for those who care:

(1) All Cereus assets will be forfeited to the US.
(2) All civil money laundering claims against the Cereus group of brands will be dismissed with prejudice (ie- they can't be brought again).
(3) The US takes title to everything Cereus related.
(4) Each side (Cereus and DOJ) pay their own attorney's fees.

I don't think I missed anything but I only gave it a quick read.
