FTP Discussion Thread (Everything but big new news goes here. Cliffs in OP) - Page 173 - Poker News

I've been abroad for the last week and couldn't check any news about ftp there. Anything I missed during the past 7 days except the new ftp statement ?

whats going to happen with coverage for the hearing on the 19th? Is QJ doing any coverage again?

Also is hippy or barry carter or anybody that was reporting the first hearing going to attend? I understand its being held in camera but is FT or the AGCC likely to be giving press statements directly after the hearing (on location)?

Or is the best bet just to wait for written statements to be issued after the hearing?

Are press still going to the hearing? I get that it is closed, but are there going to be public statements after the hearing and people reporting from the site before and after it is completed? Is it still going to be located at the originally scheduled hotel?

Wow to the above, within seconds of mine.

Obviously they might reply to a query, but has FTP or anyone repping them actually emailed you with an update on your money since BF?

They have not contacted any customers who haven't contacted them. E.g., they haven't e-mailed customers and said "Btw, you may have noticed that the site has been down for 3 months...."

For customers who have contacted them, they've been instructed to do one of three things:

1) Send out a form response that says almost nothing for people who seem not to know very much about the situation.
2) Send out a form response that says a little bit more than nothing for people who seem like they know what's going on already.
3) Ignore them.

Customer support is very bored and frustrated, obviously.

Some news by latest 20th anyway

FTP got 48 hours to comply or GTFO (or beg and hope to get another extension!)

I'd be happy to stick in a small investment with a gazillion other players and take a punt. They aren't going to throw us all in jail are they?

i admit i dont understand the inner workings of this kinda thing as well as others.

Does anyone really think full tilt has any funds left to payout players? They couldn't even pay liscensing company 150,00 pounds. Imo doj got any money full tilt had left including players money. Full tilt didnt have players money segragated. If a company where to buy out full tilt it would be just for the softwware, is that really worth 150 mill or more owed to players along with other liabilites? People are in denial . I hope everyone gets paid but full tilt on the same titanic with ap and ub . I hope Howard lederer goes to jail where he will be someones freak and very weird dude.

I think the way the customers have been treated is probably the most shocking aspect of the whole saga.

I can slightly understand people under indictment saying nothing but there is zero reason to treat the customers like dirt.

I sent them this the other day but they didn't reply:

"Hi, I was just playing on your premier poker site and I had something
very strange happen. Within 5 minutes I hit a royal flush, 4 of a
kind, and then got my whole stack in with AA on a A34 flop and lost to
33 who hit 4 of a kind on the river.

I think we all know that this is not rational poker. Please
compensate me for the money lost. The hands happened just a few
minutes ago. Please advise, thanks."

Hello,

Full Tilt Poker is still in ongoing discussions with the AGCC.

In the meantime, Full Tilt Poker is still unable to facilitate any play, and this includes deposits and withdrawals.

btw. what happened to all those rumors from july about european investors? I'm wondering why they refused to buy FTP... was it too expensive for them, they saw some bad stuff within the company, or FTP had some **** terms...

If I ever hear some real good news I think it will be the biggest party in my head ever.

looks like lots of "Red Pros" are already selling their houses (http://www.cardking.info/artikel.asp?id=384)

are they

[ ]going to use the money to refund players

[x] going into hiding because they fear someone will find them at home and lynch them

[x] going to buy bigger houses where they think no one finds them
