This group made well in hiring the same lawyer of other poker related cases, because they have more experience in the subject. I believe the deal with the United States Department of Justice, which they say is the hardest, is resumed to one single point: New FTP owners will have to agree with everything that will be defined by them (new tax values, regular presentation of acount balances, things like that… . This is all positive. When they restart working, they will be the most guarded of all poker rooms and players will feel safe returning back there, which means lots of money coming back in! But having conditions to reopen as quick as next January, seems too fast for me, dont blame me, im from a country where no justice case is solved in less than 4 years (and i am being nice ).

There is no other way than wait and see what will happen. Hopefully everybody will get their money one day and FT will restart with a new and trustful management.
