in most cases (me) cashouts were "processing" so it would take terrible accounting and shady characters deliberately trying to short you
I had two $2k checks that I requested a couple weeks before BF and had cleared thru FT but I never got (I'm pretty sure they were not pending). I wonder if I will be entitled to this money.

Actually I do remember this and I think it was Andrew Song who said in the midstakes forum that they said they were calling people with high balances offering alternatives. So basically let's say I wanted to buy FTP I know Ivey has 5 million on the site (random number) and I can buy it for 80mil but I don't really want to buy it for 80mil so I say yo Phil since you're such a rb pro can we just give you 1mil and then a 6mil bonus? That way I save on 4mil I have to have liquid right now. It wasn't a case where everyone would only receive their balances as bonuses as far as I remember.

But one final thing what's actually changed with this news vs. the other news that DoJ approved the sale? Did we actually get any new info? Why are people all of a sudden so happy? At first glance it sounded really good but the more I read it basically just gave us some hard data on stuff we already essentially knew. Before we didn't know what the deal entailed but we knew that BT and the DoJ had made an agreement. Now we know what the agreement is. FTP is still a (hopefully small) roadblock and that hasn't changed if I've read it right. Not entirely sure how our odds of being paid even went up at all in the last 24 hours.

from NVG FTP megathread:

"Ifrah said the deal specifically permits the re-entry of Full Tilt Poker into the U.S. marketplace if online poker becomes legalized and regulated."

speculation in that thread is about the wording of the actual DOJ/Taup statement says that would be allowed to apply for a license. Apply vs. permitted to re-enter

The good news just keeps coming, but I didnt think it was up to the DOJ to decide whether FTP gets USA access or not.

kinda shocked how many of you don't see the connection of shutting down poker sites and grabbing the owed tax money at the same time... pretty big motive right there.
11-18-2011 , 06:37 PM
that and the 80 million the DOJ is gonna get from the FTP sale gonna pay for a loooot of muffins

Whether they do or not, the job of the DoJ is supposed to be to enforce laws and the indictment said absolutely nothing about taxes. Not like government actually follows their own rules anyway though...

"US players would have to apply for reimbursement through the DOJ via a remission fund." -subjectpoker (noahsd)
This scares me!!! It realy really does. I have 1.4 mill in points, but i can give a ****, I want my money. I would be ecstatic to get my money and I will prob bitch about ftp pts after I get my money. But until this point I am just worried about my money locked up, as should every1 else be.
