Wow. It looks like Tapie had planned on using some pretty shady means of repaying players. Their initial plan sounds like they were only going to repay much of the money in the form of rakeback. I don't think they ever had the intention or means of paying back all players. This latest turn of events, if true, is very fortunate for FT players.

This wouldn't have a direct effect on allowing PS in the US again but if PokerStars returns the money to Fulltilt players, PokerStars will achieve a respect in the poker world that no government regulated site could ever hope to achieve. That's got to count for something.

Obama plays poker. Fulltilt should snatch him up as one of their pros. As an added benefit, Obama in a cowboy hat slicing the deficit with thrown playing cards would make a great campaign commercial.I read somewhere that the new owners of FullTilt don't intend to segregate their players' funds. If that's true, I don't hold out much hope for their success as a business.
