PPA Advises Players
23 September 2011
In an email, the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) has encouraged players to "contact the Victim/Witness Coordinator at the U.S. Attorney’s office and ask that you be afforded the rights of a crime victim." The letter from the PPA follows Tuesday’s statement from executive director John Pappas, calling on Full Tilt "to take all available steps to ensure the prompt payment of players as their first priority."
"This week’s news from the U.S. Department of Justice alleging that Full Tilt Poker perpetrated a “global Ponzi scheme” that defrauded players has sent shockwaves through the poker community. If true, these allegations detail a massive betrayal of player trust and will cause further hardship for the individual poker player, none of whom have been accused of doing anything wrong. Based on the DOJ allegations, it is clear that the players who deposited money and played on Full Tilt Poker are truly the victims in all of this mess.
The PPA believes that fundamental justice requires that players be repaid their money on deposit, and so we wanted to mention an avenue by which players can ask the DOJ to return funds to them through restitution in the pending case. A federal statute establishes a number of rights for victims of crimes and requires that the government take steps to assist these victims. The DOJ put in place a set of guidelines and created a program, Victims and Witness Services, so that the government could live up to its statutory obligations to victims of crimes. Again, based on the allegations set forth by the DOJ, poker players who deposited money with Full Tilt Poker should be treated as crime victims and afforded the full rights and protections of our government.
If you have been unable to withdraw your money from Full Tilt Poker, you may wish to contact the Victim/Witness Coordinator at the U.S. Attorney’s office and ask that you be afforded the rights of a crime victim as outlined on their website. Let them know that you would like to be kept informed of any major developments in the case (United States v. Full Tilt, et al., 11 C 2564 and United States v. Scheinberg, et al., 10 CR 336) and that you are seeking restitution of lost funds."

I don't really understand the PPA's viewpoint here. The whole premise of the DoJ's initial action was that the whole operation was criminal. Are they really expecting the DoJ to rank the crimes and then decide that paying back the players is the number one priority? IMO if they do recover funds then it will all go to fund the lumpy fines the DoJ will no doubt levy. |

I listened to this, & to say it was a dreadfully researched piece of news/journalism would be a massive understatement. |

Can someone give me cliffs on this please as have not really studied it too much (obv no monies on tilt). Mate was saying the other night that Grandad was telling people on Sky poker people were making deposits and Tilt weren't deducting money from their bank accounts. I told him not to be stupid but obv next day I look on 2p2 and see shizzle about phantom deposits. So how did this happen and is it relevant to the whole doj thing or just a sign that the tilt operation was pretty shoddy?
Sorry if this is all old news but suppose I better actually find out what is happening as keep getting asked and just make up random bollocks most of the time.
