Seriously I have to question if most poker players are capable of being functioning adults when reading a thread like this.
50 cents on the dollar? lol, you mean fractions of a penny on the dollar.
I've posted this a thousand times, and it amazes me how many people still think that the players are going to be made whole in any amount that will even come close to satisfactory.
The players are not the only ones who got screwed over. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of legit employees who were screwed out of salaries, wages, benefits, 401k matchings, and so on that are all rightfully and legally owed to them. I can tell you right now, that every single one of these people will be paid in full, or accept a settlement damn close to full, before any player ever sees a single dime. And this amount of money for this category of recipient is extremely high I can promise you.
In addition, anyone holding a lien against FTP property real or personal, any preceding court judgments, and all FTP attorneys fees will all be paid in full before any players see a dime.
So as long as people like Barry keep withholding money that can get paid to these legit sources, the players will sit and wait. It is understandable for Barry to want to "keep it in the family", but that is not his right, and there are lots of other honest people who are deserving as well, and will come before everyone else in the eyes of the law and the feds.
I said a year ago that the players will never see a dime, and a year later nothing has changed to make me sway from that. There isn't any money, and the people who do have money that will pay it won't do so unless their strings of contingencies are met. Sad.
