    So pretty much like with Full Tilt, the US government now owns all of AP/UB, but I don't know how much value it really has at this point. Maybe someone will buy and rebrand the software.

    I still don't think the players will ever see a dime.

    The players aren't going to see anything and if someone wants to play on a platform that looks like UB the World Poker Tour subscription site is right up their alley.

    As for Full Tilt, I wonder when in the hell that money will be refunded? One thing is for sure the US Government is in no hurry to refund anyone.
