    This doesn't make much sense to me. I thought the poker sites always stated that our money was held in a seperate account, so it was safe. If that was true, they would not need to raise capital, buit would just pay out the money from the seperate trust account. Apparently that was a lie. What a joke.

    This is really disturbing news. It seems FTP works leveraged then, which is not what is said in their website.

    One lie after another, why don't they just flat out say that we got caught red handed with are pants to are knees, and now were gonna try and save some face by getting you guys paid eventually, not we'll get back too you next week or the following week....they are a laughing stock and all the us players who suport full tilt should hear it at the wsop from everybody!!!!!!!!!

    Ok @first i said ohhh shit the sky is fallin , then i said these poker rooms have too much to lose, they ll pay us our rolls, now a month and a half later im saying f--k you and your updates that dont update anything about what is happening. How can you not have our $ and what a world class f--k up on your part tilt. Pretty much your hoping that the euros continue to play your ME mtts so you can run the rake up and pay the US players. Is this your only plan tho really. Get a clue you have an arm out to the world but the middle finger out to the USA which was half if not more of your player pool. You guys have done nothing to get out in front of this process and it is gross. Any regular who played every day paid out 10s of thousands in rake for a year if not more now we have to wait while you hope to "raise capital", wtf!!!!! Just kick in our money we are people with real lives and real bills, unlike you owners who have your shit paid off because of the $$$ we ve given you over the years. Not only are we laid off without severance but they locked our bank accounts too WP TILT.

    Poker Stars segregates their our money though:

    pokerstars player’s poker money and account balances are held in segregated accounts and not used for any operational expenses. These segregated accounts are managed by a leading European bank. This arrangement ensures that PokerStars can at all times fulfill its monetary obligations toward its online poker players, and provides further reassurance that player funds are always secure with PokerStars.
