Kind of hard for any more news on this when everyone's "source" was the thread on 4.There is too much smoke for there not to be something serious happening but that doesn't mean a deal will get done. Until any deal is finalized I wouldn't think that we'll hear anything official in public. Link to post Share on other sites

psujohn 0 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 FTP going belly up might be good for Stars but FTP being up amidst a big fraudulent management scandal is terrible. The FTP scandal drags down the potential of all sites by feeding the whole "online is rigged" fear. If Stars is really buying FTP I'm sure the message is "look online is safe" as much as anything. I'm sure FTP has some assets that would benefit Stars. I preferred their software and there's the rush patents (which could be worthless I know I at least had the idea way before FTP came out with rush) and there's probably not 100% overlap in the player lists. But really if the purchase can restore a good deal of confidence in online poker that'd be the biggest win for Stars. Specially if as Bob speculates the purchase price includes money Stars would have paid DoJ anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

donk4life 34 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Man at this point it's so hard to excited for stuff like this. I guess when you've lost all hope is when they good news finally comes, but I refuse to get excited about this. Link to post Share on other sites
