The US DoJ Takes Its Time Repaying FTP Players
The United States Department of Justice has currently no real idea on how exactly to repay the US players of Full Tilt Poker.
Three months after the acquisition of Full Tilt Poker and over a week after the reopening of non-US players’ accounts in the re-launching room, the United States Department of Justice has still not begun to compensate US players in the worth of a total of $200 million. It is not going to happen soon either, as it turns out following a meeting of representatives of the DoJ and the Poker Players Alliance (PPA).
After the meeting, PPA president John Pappas has announced that the DoJ is indeed far from being able to repay the players, as they are currently without any methods of payment in mind.
Pappas also said that there are no appointment for choosing the third party to conduct the payment, either, despite months having passed since the acquisition of FTP. He explained that the Department lacks the resources for the task with a long list of legal issues at hand.
US players are disappointed over the news and express their dissatisfaction through various forums as well as Twitter. Blair Hinkle, for instance, who expects compensation worth $1 million, discarded the attitude of the DoJ as a joke, which is one of the most moderate criticisms around.
