Site ends months of silence over player funds
Almost five months after the events of Black Friday, Full Tilt Poker has released a statement regarding possible investment and the eventual return of player funds.
Since Full Tilt worldwide operations were put on hiatus by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission’s decision to suspend the site’s operating license in June, players have been clamouring for any news on the state of their lost funds.
In a statement released to PokerNews this week, the site opened up for the first time since June’s suspension, apologising for a lack of contact while revealing that negotiations with investors to ‘secure an infusion of capital to repay all of its worldwide customers’ are ongoing.
The site’s reluctance to reveal any information before now was attributed to upholding ‘strict confidentiality’ agreements with potential buyers, ‘without jeopardizing future opportunities’.
No information on the potential buyers has been officially revealed, but rumours circulating over recent months claim that Casino mogul Jack Binion may be behind the deal.
As always, PokerPlayer will bring you more information on the Full Tilt situation when available.
