Oh, and if there is information, the right thing to do is to say "I don't know", not start making up crap.
It's unfortunate that anyone casting a cynical eye over this is seen as simply 'negative', in my case it couldn't be further from the truth.
Believe me when I say that I am not a 'glass half empty' kind of guy. (There are even people on these boards who can testify to that) however I think it's important to question everything - especially when you have been fooled before.
FTP as an entity is huge with thousands of employees. You don't change a culture like the one FTP had (poor customer service, contempt for players and their bankrolls) overnight, and you certainly don't change it by bringing in shady businessmen with a track record of cheating and bribery.
You may not like all the 'negative' posts that sometimes pop up in this thread, but to me all the unjustifiably positive, Jeff Ifrah loving nonsense is naive, and unrelated to the reality of business.
I now believe a deal will be done, but it won't be one that players are fully happy with. However by that point people will be just glad to get some of their rolls back, and will accept whatever proposal Tapie puts on the table.
FTP should be boycotted to show what happens when companies steal hundreds of millions from people, alas, they will survive and show just the kind of scam you can get away with in the poker world - a shining example to all future scammers.
