Full Tilt lawyers to pull out from lawsuit
Senior Full Tilt lawyers Jeff Ifrah and David Deitch have
expressed their desire to step down as ‘attorneys of record’ for the troubled
company.
Ifrah Law PLLC attempted to explain their actions in a
statement released last week, where they claimed ‘continued
representation of Defendants would create unreasonable difficulty for us to
carry out our employment effectively and would result in an unreasonable
financial burden to our law firm.’
Ifrah
and Deitch represented an extensive list of companies associated with Full
Tilt, including Tiltware LLC and Pocket Kings Limited. They also represented
many individuals belonging to Team Full Tilt, who are as follows:
Reading between the lines of the statement, the
‘unreasonable financial burden’ could point to Full Tilt being unable to pay their legal representation any longer. This would obviously be bad news for
players still waiting on the release of their frozen funds. Others have
speculated that this is simply a delaying tactic. Either way, the outlook does
not seem bright for Full Tilt in the quest to pull themselves out of a hole
that seems to be deepening by the day.
