Full tilt players to be paid in full?

[c4ught]

Can I transfer my FTP funds to an account on PokerStars?

We hope to have the functionality in place to allow inter-site transfers between Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars, so that you can enjoy playing again on either platform of your choosing. We will provide additional guidance on this in the coming weeks.

Great idea!!! Was kind of hoping the two sites would be completely seperate though. Not looking to play Pokerstars games on Fulltilt Software.

Sounds like journalists being journalists and just stirring it up a bit.

It would be illogical and inconsistent for them to not pay back the US players - but then again it is the American government, so obviously not out of the question

Thing is, whoever gives the green light to pay the customers, will be setting themselves up for attack by the anti-gambling lobbyists.  Re-election nightmare for anyone willing to get involved. 

It also adds steam to the 'legalise it' camp's fight, because they're effectively supporting online poker by paying it back.

Either way, I don't envy them.

PokerStars officially closed their deal with the US DOJ today, FTP will be operational by Nov. 6

No ones bothered about the beginning. It's the ending that stinks

Actually just watched part 1 on a link Barry put up on Facebook. Gonna follow the lot now

I thought it was fairly interesting.  The whole thing looks like it has taken a fairly heavy toll on him physically and it could serve as a case study as to why company directors should take their legal responsibilities seriously.

Blue jeans, black socks and black shoes is such an poor clothing combo. If I had seen this vid before I would never have left money on Tilt. Those jeans look like prison jeans and the shirt is just very boring and doesn't match anything else. I mean it's annoying really how people from USA just throw random clothes about their person and seem totally blind to the car crash result.
