FCP Bob 1,323 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Very long interview with Andy Bloch but it provides some interesting insights into how Full Tilt operated. http://diamondflushpoker.com/2012/09/exclusive-ftp-former-shareholder-speaks-out-interview-with-andy-bloch/ Link to post Share on other sites
keith crime 8 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Sounds to me like he remained happily ignorant and took feeble answers when he asked questions - no mea culpas - just i wasn't that involved Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,323 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Sounds to me like he remained happily ignorant and took feeble answers when he asked questions - no mea culpas - just i wasn't that involved yah, this is his side of the story so he's going to spin things in his own interest. He's trying to make himself look blissfully ignorant of what was going on as opposed to having a lot of knowledge. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well let's be fair. It's not like he's a really smart dude who isn't afraid to ask tough follow up questions and has a good bullshit meter especially when it it involves his financial positions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rodloblaw 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 What Blows me away about this whole shit storm is two things. A. Daniel is and was right about the criminality of just staying open and accepting deposits post black Friday...not to mention the way they ran the business.. B. In Howard's interview he conveniently and surreptitiously brought up "poker player who borrowed money from FTP".. when from 2007 unitl 2011 $400 mil + was paid to the shareholders/board of directors including $41 mil to Howard himself... and he LEANS on Poor Tom Dwan to pay him 1mill to "keep the lights on"... Why the **** didn't this tool take a mortgage out on his many residences? According to his own words at least a good percentage of those owner dividends he collected was collected from an insolvent FTP( even if it wasn't 100% his fault for it being that way) so he doesn't see that as a "debt"... Dude is pure evil... Also how can he defend agreeing to continue to pay Bitar a monthly salary post Black Friday when Bitar took his piece of that $400 million dollar pie pre Black Friday? This is kind of like OJ case... HE should have just left the ****ing country after the "you must aquit" business but he stayed ... because of his own huge ego that put him in the position he found himself in... Howard looks to want to "rehab" his "image"...when he should just take what ever assets remained from that 41 million he pocketed and shut the fruck up if he isn't going to 100% apologize....
