Rumors are that players will be paid within 90 days.
http://www.compatiblepoker.com/poker...urt-today/5921It has come to our attention that representatives of Full Tilt Poker and Poker Stars are in the USA today to come to settlements about the ‘purchase’ and agreements between both companies and the Department of Justice.
This news is positive re-enforcement that Full Tilt players will be getting their money soon (less than 90 days) and that the deal is still going to happen. As with all cases of this matter, information is not being released by either company until finalized.
The agreement would mean hundreds of millions of dollars to be paid to the US government in order to be on ‘good terms’ again and clear any future liabilities of Poker Stars during the purchase of Full Tilt’s assets. Full payment by PokerStars to US citizens for defrauded money by ex-Full Tilt owners will be paid immediately. This has been a clear necessity by the DOJ for ANY deal to go through and is one reason why Bernard Tapie would not purchase Full Tilt Poker. According to Tapie, the DOJ would not allow sufficient time (90 days) to generate revenues to pay back player balances.
However, the fight isn't over yet.
There is the following new rumor:
Update from a 2nd hand source about major ex-US sites: “Heard that PStars/Tilt/UB/AP went in front of judge in New York….had all their shit sorted out…but then the District Attorney from Kentucky showed up and had their hand open asking 125 million from each site and if they don’t fork it over, they are going after domains to seize them…..“
