Nineteen Players Still Owe a Total of $16.5 Million to Full Tilt Poker

“The argument of the players who say ‘we will refund if the money goes to the players’ is misleading… they know very well that the players will be refunded only if GBT goes all the way with the takeover, and for that to happen it is necessary that the bulk of money owed by the pros returns to Full Tilt.”

"The poker community, and particularly that made up of former Full Tilt players waiting to recover their funds, deserves to know the reality of the behavior of some major poker figures who say they are sorry for the situation of Full Tilt players and want to do everything they can to help them get their funds back, blaming the old management, but also refraining from saying how much they have borrowed from Full Tilt, and lost, playing on the site.”

"When you are a poker player, a great player at that, recognized and admired, the basic rule, it seems to me, is to honor your gambling debts.”

"Fortunately, among the 19 players we have attempted to contact, some have immediately called back and worked with us on a repayment plan to clear their debts, and we are already finalizing contracts to that effect.”

"We now hope that those who have not contacted us will do so quickly, to find the same type of solutions, so that the situation does not remain as it is.”
