yeah right,

The new owners will take a majority stake in exchange for putting up cash to pay US poker players

So you reckon the new owners can afford a massive run by all Non-US players as well?

French online gambling regulator ARJEL, yesterday suspended Full Tilt’s French license and shut down its .fr site.

According to the ruling Full Tilt was given notice to prove it had sufficient funds to pay players in France but was unable to do so.

This latest ruling is another blow to Full Tilt, which saw its global operation shut down last week when the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.

Analyst Daniel Stewart & Co, said, "It is still unclear as how long the suspension would be implemented but clearly French citizens would no longer be able to play on Tilt’s dot.fr site following the suspension.

“In our view the latest developments (Alderney & France) will have done irreparable damage to the beleaguered poker operator, and we expect further migration to the likes of Stars, BPTY [bwin.party], 888 and PTEC [Playtech] to follow”

WickedChops Poker:

Hearing some interesting Full Tilt Poker news from our across the pond sources.

While we’re waiting on full confirmation, the sources are solid and both points seem inevitable, so here’s what we’re hearing.

:: Ray Bitar is out. Word is that on Sunday Ray Bitar was voted out as CEO of Full Tilt. This shouldn’t come as a shocker as we’d imagine any potential investor (i.e. the Ivey White KnightTM group) doesn’t want to buy a company and have someone indicted by the United States government running it, but from what we’re hearing, it’s happened and he’s out. Backing the tip up, we’ve spoken to Tilt employees who say there has been no direct communication from Bitar since at least Sunday (although to be fair, there hasn’t been a ton before that either).

:: AGCC to unsuspend license. Some Tilt employees are being told that Alderney will unsuspend the company’s gaming license by the weekend, possibly as early as Friday. While Tilt and its prospective buyer are in discussions with the AGCC, it still seems early (to us, at least) to unsuspend the license. However, from what we hear, Tilt is preparing for it and has already moved its DNS back to Alderney.

Can't to see what happens when clever people try to get all their money out...(probably failing to do so because Tilt don't have it.)..or when others say "F it, it'll all be fine I'll just leave it in"

Think the clever (non us) people had at most a bowl on there anyway.
