If Pokerstars is helping to make the payment to FT poker players, that’s got to mean something. If they aren’t buying FT, at least they should keep a presence in the organization, perhaps with some members in the administration. This is the way it works in companies from others sectors of activity, it shouldn’t be that different in the game market. At least these are good news for US poker players, as it should be soon that Pokerstars will restart the activity there again.

i am a little bit confused to be fair- if stars are in a plan to repay the customers of full tilt the cash, then doesn't it already mean that stars own full tilt- why the hell would you want to repay other company clients? maybe i misread something, but that sounds odd...p.s. give my $0.36 back

PS buying FT is definitely good news for FT player who has money to cash out… But will it be good news for poker in general?? Seem to be just a tremendous strategy before legalization of poker in US. think about it...

The U.S. DOJ can eat poop so sick of their nosey ass everywhere they think that they can make a capital gain, but will they look in to real problems? Not if it's not profitable to them. That's what ticks me off the most.
