ok that is more or less what i wanted to see- someone going to jail (let's hope he will eventually get there)- let's get real- full tilt was a criminal organization- some dudes are guilty, some probably didn't know the whole picture- but the guilty ones should go to jail imo

Wow, a 30 year imprisonment for a financial crime? I thought this would only be for homicide related crimes. Ok, Bernard Madoff got more than this, but he also stole, only for him, a lot more than Ryan Lang (I suppose, values aren’t known, but I think we can’t compare a bank to an online poker company).

another middleman nonsense, what about charging the actual people who were stealing money from the players and doing something good to help people get their money back.. only hypocrisy and bs by US govt
Will every man involved in this get his own trial? I really would like to hear what the more familiar faces have to say about all this. Who made the most $ in all this, Lederer?

Just take everyone envolved in the mangerial part of this scam, take all their assets, re-open Fult Tilt and give us our money back. Or, let' us use it toward playing poker like we wanted. How long is the U.S. Govy going to drag it out. They know who's involved and to what degree their involvment was or is. C'mon!
