Full Tilt Poker er et stort skridt næmere genåbning

Rygterne og spekulationerne har floreret i flere uger, og nu skulle den være god nok. Den såkaldte Groupe Bernard Tapie er ifølge pokermediet Subject:Poker nået til enighed med det amerikanske justitministerium, Department of Justice, om en overtagelse af Full Tilt Poker.

Da det nu er en realitet kan Groupe Bernard Tapie arbejde videre mod at genåbne pokersitet og udbetale tilgodehavender til sitets kunder.

Næste skridt er dog, at Full Tilt Pokers aktionærer godkender overtagelsen. Det skriver Ray Bitar i en udsendt pressemeddelelse, som du kan læse i sin helhed nedenfor.

Dear members,

I am pleased to announce that today the Department of Justice and Groupe Bernard Tapie have reached an agreement in principle regarding the acquisition of the companies comprising FullTiltPoker. My understanding is the deal provides that in exchange for an agreed upon payment by GBT, and a GBT commitment to assume responsibility for payment of ROW players, DoJ will reimburse US players and settle the outstanding civil litigation with the companies comprising FTP. Beyond these conditions, issues like the time frame and process for repayment of players remain unclear at this point and time.

With DoJ's consent now in hand, GBT may now proceed to finalize an agreement to acquire the companies or assets that comprise FTP. That agreement will very likely address the status of your shares or interests in the successor company. When I receive that agreement, I will coordinate with our attorneys to ensure the terms of that proposed agreement will be shared with the membership and voted on.

-Ray
