Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much ROW players successfully withdrew after BF?

I have pretty much given up on this thread and chek it real fast now n then bc there is such a lack of real content lately and all speculation. I am however suprised that Tapie group does not having ftp up n running yet considering how much every day passing represents $-wise...

Must be alot of lawyer mumbo jumbo and paperwork goin' on...

I think you can be pretty sure of your last line Unless they are all going to proceed on a wink and a handshake Likely not LOL

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh buddyyyyyyyyyyyy. This is almost a billion dollar play here so we give it some time and maybe i get mayb five figs

Having concrete info about US cashouts by February would be nice. I would expect to hear something before then about FTP2 reopening.

I withdrew my money but it wasn t a big amount.

I'd really like to know the answer to this question. ^

I'd also love to see the post BF transaction histories for the Team FTP pros. (I'm not referring to the red pros with no ownership interest. I'm referring to only the big name players that had actual ownership.) Not that seeing the histories would really solve anything but I'm curious to see if they were allowed to cash out their balances when other players weren't.

Anyone who's still in the loop have a guess at ETA of FTP2 announcement/FTP2 opening?

I don't even know if FTP knows how much was 'successfully' withdrawn, but ROW balances at the end of March were reported at ~$240M ($390M total - $150M US), but were reported to be only ~$150M at the end of June.

But FTP was reported to only have $50M April 1 ($60M -$10M dividends) and it was reported that ~$40M was seized on BF. The DOJ said they had ~6M in early June.

So balances shrunk `$90M, presumably some people deposited during that time, so if we can allow for a few million to have been successfully withdrawn from that money and a few million from the $6-$10M FTP had kindly segregated for us, I'd estimate that only $10-$15M was successfully withdrawn, $10-$15M was 'raked', leaving ~60M in limbo.

An Italian who claims to be in the loop posted that they will make an announcement around the 16th.

Google translation:

^ I wonder if Diamond Flush or Noah have any comment regarding this italian post.

I withdrew quite a bit. Stupidly I didn't remove all of it and have tons of friends that have money stuck. I was withdrawing weekly and it took about a week to get paid (used to be instant) then 10 days. They there were so many promos such as rush week and started feeling safe again. I went on a big upswing requested a fairly big withdrawal which never went through and left a large balance inside thinking everything was "business as usual" and they got shut down. I'm sure quite a bit was withdrawn. There was a thread called Canadian withdrawals or something like that.

Call me stupid or be a troll for not removing my whole balance and leaving only what I needed to grind but I had no idea of the trouble they were in and really never expected such a shut down. I am sure many are in the same scenario as me.

I withrew about 1k instantly when i got a text off a friend that friday evening. It processed almost immediately and I had it on Moneybookers within and hour.(Ireland)

I put back on about 200 to start grind again when i 'thought' it was safe. I withdrew once ro tiwce afterwards and I cant recall how long it took.

So according to this translation it says we are still several months away from the reopening of FT?

Link?

No, they plan to open Feb. 1, according to him, but if you live in a country that only allows you to play on sites licensed in your country (.fr,, .es, etc) then your balance will not be on FTP.com (kgc, agcc licensed), it will be on ftp.fr, ftp.es etc, but those sites won't actually exist until he gets a license in your country.

Please be right linguine marinara guy

I already used my one time when my AA was all in against KK and a K came on the flop. Ace landed on river for me. But what they hell....
Feb for full tilt2 ONE TIME!!!!!!!!!!

Don't you guys think its quite strange to say the least that there are almost no rumours whatsoever....

I mean, since its confirmed tapie spoke to all the employees, you would think the employees of FTP would know a lot more by now and still they all manage to remain completely silent till today.

Not sure what to think of it....

Maybe they want to keep their jobs?

Imagine yourself being in the position....

No way i could keep my mouth shut against close (poker)friends

Do you have a link to the Italian post?

Eventully someone will post the truth about paybacks and reopening ( hell maybe it's this guy, this time IDK)! At the same time be wary of Trolls and Fools getting your hopes up just to level you!

This guy, and a couple others there at assopoker clearly have contacts, they posted that Tapie would be in Ireland greeting his new employees, and 3 days later he showed up.
