Tudi ko bo prišlo do legalizaciej pokra v USA (ko ne če, ker to je samo vprašanje časa) bo ta po vsej verjetnosti znotraj zveznih držav. Torej ne bodo niti vsi američani med sabo igral, ampak samo tisti v isti zvezni državi, niti ni pogojev da EU zraven pride.
Se pa govori da si bodo Starsi s tem odprli možnosti za vstop v US Market(amapk EU nav imel nč od tega).

[KowKain]

no sej je kr logičen tak razplet glede na dogajanje - ZDA poštudera da gre preveč $$ od taxpayerjev vn iz Amerike; nardijo prepoved online gamblanja, zaprejo market.... Kr naenkrat se začnejo pojavljat take in drugačne spremembe pri Pokerstarsu (.eu domena, ameriški igralci samo na playmoneyu), nakar se čudežno use začne razpletat z Starsovim nakupom FTP-ja (odstranitev konkurence), še mal pogajanj z DoJ, and voila!, počas nazaj, s tem da bo najbrž igranje omejeno samo na US playerje (tko da dnar "ostane doma") pa ime Full Tilt je kljub fiasku preveč vredno, da bi ga kr odpikal. Usi baje radi igrajo z 'pijanimi Američani', sam če se tole do konca realizira, bo te pravljice konc..
Kdor zna, zna...

Iz pokerstrategy-ja:
Ray Bitar, the CEO of Full Tilt Poker, has returned to the United States from Ireland and has surrendered to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, according to EGR magazine.
This news was initially revealed in a post on Two Plus Two by the same anonymous user who revealed the PokerStars purchase rumours. Shortly after this post was made, the US Attorney's Office confirmed to EGR that Bitar had indeed surrendered in New York.
The contents of the leaked e-mail allegedly written by Bitar are as follows:
"To all Dublin Staff,
By now you probably have heard that I have returned to the US to deal with civil and criminal case that are pending against me in New York. We have all worked hard over the last 15 months to preserve Full Tilt’s assets and potential in order to provide for the repayment of all players, and that continues to be our top priority. It is as important as ever that we all do everything possible to make that happen and, hopefully our deal with Poker Stars will very soon make our goal a reality. My return to the US is part of this process.
I am particularly grateful to all of you here in Dublin for your hard work, patience and understanding during this difficult time. I believe that your hard work and dedication should not go unrecognized, and we have made arrangements for Poker Stars to guarantee all July salaries. You should therefore have no concern about coming to work during this period. After that, we expect that your employment contracts will be assumed by the buyer of the company’s assets.
For those that need to reach me, I expect to continue to be available by email and phone starting late Monday, New York time.
In the meantime, please refer any operational questions to **REDACTED**, and any HR questions to **REDACTED**.
Thank you all again.
Kind regards,
Raymond J Bitar"
July 3rd Update: New Charges Filed
The original Black Friday indictment of Bitar included 5 charges. 2 were related to violating the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, 1 was for operating an illegal gambling business, 1 was for conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and 1 was for money laundering conspiracy.
Bitar will now face a superseding indictment which includes 9 charges total. The 9 includes the 5 original charges, plus 4 new charges related to the missing funds still owed to Full Tilt's players. There are 3 counts of wire fraud related to those funds, and 1 count of money laundering.
View the Complete Superseding Indictment
The following statement was issued by Bitar for the media:
"Today, I returned voluntarily to the U.S. from Full Tilt’s headquarters in Ireland to face the charges against me. I know that a lot of people are very angry at me. I understand why. Full Tilt should never have gotten into a position where it could not repay player funds. For the last 15 months, I have worked hard on possible solutions to get the players repaid. Returning today is part of that process. I believe we are near the end of a very long road, and I will continue to do whatever is required to get the players repaid. I hope that will happen soon."
