You think? I hope you're right. I was always a PS player, so I don't have any funds on there anyways, but for those that do, I hope you and PO are correct.

There's been a bunch of reports recently that I've been following including 3rd party financing that leads me to believe that ROW will be playing on there sometime soon.

With restored player balances? Like I said, I'm US, non-FT anyway, but I hope for everyone else's sake that you're right.

from what i been reading at pokernews that there was agreement made between the peoeple who will buy Full tilt , and the DOJ. The end result that the people who will buy Tilt will pay back all the player outside the u.s. and the DOJ will repay the U.S players when the deal is done.. they said that either this week or next it should be some news on that. Plus the company that run the software poker kings or what ever they call themself started to hire new people within there company so it could be a sign of good things to come

oohhhhhh....NICE.
Don't think anyone is going to benefit anyway. Those that are still holding-on to the "maybe I'll eventually get my money back" line of thought are (imo) sadly mistaken. Jail wouldn't be a "benefit" to anyone who is owed money, but would at least be some sort of justice/ retribution for those whom these guys ripped-off.
Fail to see how that is justice.If these people owe money how is us spending money to keep them alive in jail going to help.Dont know what it is everywhere else but where i am from it costs about $750/day/inmate so low ball a 5 year sentence and now everyone has to pay just cause your pissed cause you gave your money to an unregulated company.Dont get me wrong I had money there too but we took a risk by trusting FT and we were wrong.(this is why i am for changing the laws in the US so we can regulate them)

First-off, if you'd actually read the thread, you'd see that SEVERAL TIMES I mention that I personally never played at FT so they don't owe me any money, ergo that is not why I'm "pissed-off".
Secondly, despite your apparently being part of the extreme fringe or "looney left" there is a punishment aspect to "justice" whether you care to believe that or not. The people intimately involved with FT were/are criminals, therefore they deserve jail-time.

Really? Why not?
I probably spent the large majority of my playing time on FTP. I thought it was way better than any of the other sites.

Not really sure tbh. Just happened to start with PS and was totally happy there. I was only playing cash games at the time, so there was always plenty of games to choose from and no real need to look elsewhere.
I did consider depositing a few times, but just about every time I felt the urge to try it there would be, like clockwork, a thread on here about someone having payout or support issues with FT. This was well before BF, like years before, so that wasn't the issue either. So, seeing FT's apparent issues where PS generally had none, I really just felt content at PS.
Now that I'm more experienced and have played online for a lot longer, if FT ever did come back to the US as a reputable company I'd most like play there and several other sites as well if afforded the opportunity. Before I just never felt the need to "branch-out" from PS, now I have next to no options anyway, even if I wanted to, **sigh**....maybe some day.....

I am sure there are many other reports like this, but you gotta love those two both for saying what they think and then leaving the casino.

About a year ago a poker podcast had Russ's phone number and they prank called him every week for about a month.

Lederer and Ferguson
They should both be in jail right at this moment as I speak with the amount of money they both stole from FT. And on top of that these were 2 well respected players or so I thought in the circuit. They are nothing more then disgusting crooks to me.

I would have to google to see why, but I have not heard them being the bad guys.
Sources, or on what do you base this?
I know they were FT players, but that alone should not condemn them. I mean, I was a FT player.
Still, you may have access to info I dont know......

i agree with HoldOnTheRail, players are just representers of poker rooms, they dont have anything with their dirty job...
Its like for example some car comapny stoled some money and the worker in factory going to jail...no logic ;O
