I might have waited until after I'd been cleared of charges of insider trading of Amaya shares before I, er, made a bid to buy all of Amaya's shares.

UPDATE – Wednesday, November 23 – Former Amaya CEO David Baazov today admitted that KBC Aldini Capital Ltd, the Dubai firm he had claimed was part of his capital funding for an Amaya buyout bid, was never informed of, nor did they give consent to, be included in an equity commitment letter, according to Canada’s CBC News.

Baazov offered no apparent explanation for the major gaffe, and said he intends to find “replacement” financing for the investor who never was one.

I can see an insta-suspend of license from the UKGC if Baazov and Chinese money of dubious provenance get control.

lol at this absolute farce! I guess the guy who no-one liked who couldn't afford to buy pokerstars didn't buy it :P

I wonder legitimately how serious this actually was? How close out of 10 did he come to actually getting a deal in place
