Favorite comment on the matter:

pretty cool to think that a ton of the poker after dark episodes i watched are, in retrospect, a bunch of guys pushing around money they stole from me.

To put things in perspective - Bernie Madoff defrauded over 2000 investors and received 150 years on 11 counts of federal farud.

Howard defrauded millions and could be indicted on over 40 counts.


Hmmmm..........:142smilie

That's exactly what they're trying to do. Look at Appendix C to the amended complaint. It lists all their personal accounts, right down to the bank.

Response:

durrrr did you knowingly get paid from FTP with player deposits? If you knew that the deposits were not coming in for months did you question where the money was coming from? Are you still planning on committing one million dollars to players that are unable to collect?

Durrr:

also to clarify on april 16th i had 0 idea that they didn't have all the player funds. i would've happily laid 100-1 that they did have all the player funds (which i effectively did), because they had a super profitable business- and the only way to screw it up would've been doing something completely retarded. when i found out i was a mess for weeks, as not only had i given wrong advice to a buncha people, also there were people who i had thought highly of, that i now all the sudden started to think were somewhere between scumbags and criminals.

Holy shit, where is this guys legal team and publicist. Shut it off man. It's not helping. I actually feel bad for this kid. Who wouldnt have wanted to be a Full Tilt member and he did it the hard way earnign his way up through internet poker and than live poker, but he needs to stop talking about this. It is not helping his cause, unless he already turned States and has an agreement with the DOJ.

:facepalm:

BEST RESPONSE TO DURRR:

Re: Justice Dept. accuses Lederer, Ferguson, others of defrauding poker players out of $300,000
This is so surreal..............I'm watching the FTP $1M Durr Challenge AND watching Durr dig his own grave deeper with each post.

Too bad you have more poker sense than common sense....................enjoy your deposition buddy............... considering a 2+2'er was named in the complaint, you can bet they are sure as hell going to enjoy your posts.......wouldn't be surprised if you're "Player #3"..........

-RPA

P.S. How does it feel to play with our money???????

Plain and Simple, Full Tilt had a balance of close to $500 million in ACTIVE balances in their players accounts and only had $60 million in the bank to cover it if players wanted withdrawals. Leaving them a TAD short or $440 million in the RED.

I have read that Jesus Ferguson was the brains behind this rational basing it on previous numbers of percentage cashed out on a monthly basis, but needless to say they were taking money out of the business that was not EARNED, just like Bernie Madoff, they were using new money to fund pay out requests
