    it continually makes me sick that i tried to transfer 5k from FTP to stars via the site transfer thread here but I didn't get a hold of the guy that agreed to it the night before.

    "Full Tilt Poker will strive to have better communication with its customers going forward"

    Read more: http://www.pokernews.com/news/2011/0...tors-10893.htm

    Dear FTP,
    open you e-mail box, press "write a new e-mail" select my e-mail address and let me know in 2 sentences what you are doing with my money an when I can expect to receive it back.
    Thanks in advance.
    Lenail

    => Does it sounds difficult to do ?? Do they need someone with a master degree in communication to do this ??

    Running a business like this and not sending ANY information to ANY of the customers directly during nearly 2 months is far out of the acceptable in my opinion.

    By the way FTP, don't use the word Apologize, it tilts me worse than any of the beat taken on your site.

    they Could offer people they owe big money to a piece of the company with promise of payback over a certain time.Anybody with less than 20 bucks in there account should just let it go.maybe get a credit if sites ever back up and in the states. Oh man I need my online poker back.

    When we're ready!!! Lederer and company must have decided that they were finally "ready" to make a statement. Glad they took their time to release this groundbreaking information

    "I'm sorry but" is not an apology. "I'm sorry and this is how I'm going to make it right" is an apology.

    not sure why there apologizing I think it's pretty standard for there to be a 3 month lapse in time before they give a response

    Fulltilt poker can go f#ck themselves, them fu#king rat bastards. I hope at least someone had one hell of a time with my money. If they would like to truly apologize at least post pictures of Howard, Chris, Phil, and the gang having one hell of a f@cking time. Thanks for the apology though:)

    I fully accept the apology and am very satisfied with that instead of my $1,700.00. I have much empathy for everyone at FT, they are going thru a very stressful and traumatic time right now. Let's just be patient and give them another 2-3 months. I don't think anyone will mind....

    Wouldn't that be awesome if someone trusted you with hundreds of millions of dollars then was cool with you saying your sorry after pissing it all away? Where the hell do I get a job like that? Where are the repercussions or ramifications for their theft of honest peoples money? Those jerks haven't even been arrested! Who wants to buy a company from someone that's "on the lam", and already stolen from millions of people? Makes no sense at all.

    Look, we all know what the deal is, so just slash the workforce and the salaries and let us know how long the foreign tables are going to have to operate before the payback can be completed. Start payback in lottery fashion immediately. This will at least help restore some faith and give potential investors a reason not to laugh when you pitch.

    Seriously...how was FTP not sucking dicks left and right to make this fucking deal happen? I didn't even have money on there and it pisses me off to no end, because it just makes online poker look more and more like a complete shitshow. FTP should be falling over themselves doing WHATEVER it takes to convince their "current potential investors" to buy.
