I'm confused. Does this also mean poker stars and FTP are coming back to the US now?

My suggestion is that all you guys who spent days arguing the value of "a few" and were ready to string up Diamond Flush take 30 seconds to write a PM to Diamond Flush thanking her for her hard work and apologizing for your childish behavior.

Does this mean US players are paid back in full? Or partial? Fate of US players' FTP points/ bonuses/ medals?

I hate to be negative Nancy here, but why do I still feel uneasy?

Unfortunately, yes. I don't want to put an unwarranted scare into anybody, but remission is discretionary. The government can choose to refund you any or all or none of your money more or less on a whim.

No, But everyone is going to get paid now.
We have not heard that Stars is even going to re launch or moth ball the site.

The DOJ needs a legal way to compensate us. Know of any alternatives?

Yeah... It was the first sentence of the announcement wasn't it? And the DOJ is offering a US signing bonus and rakeback too?

Seriously, WTF makes you think they are coming back? DID the DOJ sign a poker bill also?
