The guy had a reasonable media presence for awhile, these days he's just a running joke, and that's pretty hard to undo.
Nobody has ever thought Scott matusow was credible at all.

People in the poker world steal, repeatedly, and run companies into the ground, with no backlash (Annie duke), so I'm sure Daniel negreanu posting some YouTube videos isn't going to hurt his millions in sponsorship money. That's another decent opinion you had, you are on a roll.

Also they will never be licensed in US IMO. And with Stars crushing all traffic atm and party/bwin likely coming to the US they will gain a good fraction of players.


Wish for the best but dont expect any experience like pre-bf .. little reason to have people flock there .. majority just want to get paid n get out I think..
The subject poker people come to mind, along with basically every poker news website. And Bernard Tapie. Literally everyone thought in december, things would be signed, and the deal would be finished by now. Just because recently people haven't been willing to comment on when they think things will be signed, or up and running, doesn't mean they haven't ever given their opinions, or implied a timeframe in which things might happen. If they liquidate their assets, players will receive like pennies on the dollar of what they are owed, and they can do that later, if the deal falls through, and there are no more interested investors. It would be so incredibly silly for anyone to advocate doing that now. Arguing with stupid people is why I normally just don't post, and skim through idiots opinions that make no sense, and either see news links, or diamond flush's posts, sadly I'm stuck arguing on the Internet now because I'm too wrapped up in it, this is hell. It's just so obvious you are so uninformed and just talking nonsense, you think party and bwin are coming to US soon huh? It's almost like there are laws in place to prevent that from happening, and no impending legislation coming anytime soon because it's an election year, weird.

lolwut. .... dude I think your missing where I am going with my previous posts.

1. I think FTP is a bad investment with a terrible investor to add to it, with many crimes he's been charged with while investing. I wouldn't be surprised if Bitar hired him and ledertard and clowns are running this show.

2. If they are to reopen, a deal need to be made in court about repayments and if the deadline is missed they will be fined and interest added then start selling off shares.

All your information and facts ur trying to come at me with are from posters like us trying to be like you,, I am just stating my opinion the whole way ... that's why you guys are let down all the time, cause no one knows **** really.

Party/bwin in US this year is probably a better chance than ftp being a highly successful site again. Which is why I think they should of never bought it, but hell Tapie is good for that behavior.

Amazing how this 'NEW' management manages to trick everybody to believe it's nothing like the UB owners switch. Even with Annie Puke and Rich Bitar running it you folks would crawl back anytime.

I don't think your opinion matters and btw wtf do you know, the new FTP is going to be the second highest traffic again within months.

I doesnt take much to determin how a business will turn out... but ffs I. Guess many of you just feed off each other... done itt.

Last thoughts:

1. Ftp should sell itself and make good instead of deeper in debt with a criminal behind the operation. Or atleast make good beefore any green light.

2. Lederer, ferguson and bitar should be in jail.

GL all.

I can't believe anyone is thinking about playing there again. After the sh it they put us through I'm never going there again (except to withdraw).
04-06-2012 , 07:42 AM

When someone returns your lost wallet, you take the wallet and then tell him/her to **** off?

If someone takes $2000+ out of my wallet without telling me, then twelve months plus later (potentially) gives it back to me and expects me to be all 100% happy about it... of course I tell them to **** off!!!!

That's debatable. I prefer stars. I know a lot of people that do.

Someone returns your stolen wallet, then asks if you want him to hold onto it...

I would probably take the wallet and give him 20$

This is not a good analogy at all.

I have a fair balance on ftp despite it not being my main site at the time of shutdown.
I'll certainly be playing a bit there to check out the games should they reopen.
I'll gladly pay some rake to any group that invests and repays the players.
