Please I hope that they don't extend anymore, driving me crazy the waiting. Really hope it is announced next week and we all know where we are, hopefully for the best.

Big time shocker, djricco has said nonsense the entire time!
02-23-2012 , 12:30 PM
There's yet to be a credible source ITT guys (except noah/DF) so don't get excited for news today.
02-23-2012 , 12:54 PM
when the f is ftp coming back? Resurrect that bad boy so everyone gets paid!
02-23-2012 , 01:42 PM
31.3.12 will be the last date, you have to wait for your money
02-23-2012 , 01:43 PM
I'm guessing if there was going to be an announcement today or tomorrow we would've been hearing a lot more about it. Hope I'm wrong.

Some people feel better by being negative about the whole situation and others, like yourself, feel better keeping positive. One side shouldn't be mad at the other for coping with the problem in a different way.

People that have been ****ed out of a lot of money shouldn't be shed in a negative light because they have a different way of coping with it than you do...

Hopefully there will be good news soon! Until then if it makes you feel better to curse FTP and wish Howard, Ray and Chris had their nuts bashed then have at it imo.
up until december i wasn't positive for positives sake, I was positive because that's the direction all the evidence with regards to the situation pointed, and I was correct.

Now, I haven't followed the nitty gritty recently or understand the nuance about which dates are important or how once again I might possibly be royally effed, so things may have changed. But I am not going to be results oriented about that.

Evidence is the key to my mood.

i am best friends with barack obama and he just told me that he's going to issue an executive order to legalize poker and he's also shipping howard and chris to guantanamo.

He'll announce at 6pm tonight. You heard it here first.

A positive outcome is most likely, but I am afraid that real evidence is in noticibly short supply here on 2+2

Should you feel the need to pass on said comments to your reliable and highly secretive sources then please do so, ****ing idiots.

Does it really matter who source is? I understand the secrecy of keeping the source name anounamous, do you want future news from that source jeopardized ? Well if source wants to remain annonmos so be it. The only thing that matters at this point is the future of FTP . So any news is good as long as it not made up news from some idiot.

I have a secret mole inside of the DOJ. His name is Jack Bauer. He is deep inside trying to prevent terrorists from taking over Allstate insurance. He told me there will for sure possibly be a possible announcement coming in the near future.

With these solid facts I've provided I feel really confident that I will 100% possibly get my money back.

According to Matt Glantz there is now little to no chance this deal will happen: http://www.mattglantzpoker.com/blog/

"One key shareholder involved in the negotiations did assure me that to this day the deal with Tapie is still a favorite to happen" correct me if im wrong, quote is fact and the rest is matt glantz opinion?

That is one shareholder opinion vs what sounds like an aggregate of other shareholders' and sources' opinions. You be the judge.
02-23-2012 , 10:57 PM

02-23-2012 , 11:01 PM

Interesting, I think this is the first decidedly pessimistic view I've seen presented that is worth giving any credit to and isn't just some random person hardcore talking out of their ass. It seems like he has very good contacts and for him to post this should lower the expectations for anyone who was extremely optimistic.

I also think Matt's opinion is worth listening to because at this point in his career where he's taking the next step of trying to be a visible/known/respected poker pro, I'm sure he is way too smart to post this unless he really believes it and has credible reasons to say the things he's saying.
