<img src="http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Raidern/news_and_rumors.jpg" align="right" style="margin:5px; border:1px solid black;">Ferguson accounts 'could' impact FTP deal

According to Subject: Poker, Chris Ferguson had "secret" accounts into which he used to transfer FTP money before Black Friday. Pocket Kings held these accounts for him. Subject Poker estimates that Ferguson transferred around $60 million to these secret accounts. In addition to that amount, the Department of Justice reported, back in April 2011, that Ferguson received $25 million from FTP. SP's report says that Ferguson managed to withdraw about $45 million of the funnelled money, but $14.3 million of it was used, with Ferguson's approval, to cover FTP's post-Black Friday expenses.

Subject Poker sources say that the initial agreement between Full Tilt and Groupe Bernard Tapie included plans to give Ferguson passive shares worth roughly $14 million. These plans were canceled after the DoJ intervened and stipulated that FTP's board of directors could not be involved in the new company. Ever since, Ferguson and Ian Iamrich, his attorney, are claiming the $14.3 million back and are threatening to take legal action to see an accounting of the money and claim any money spent improperly. Ferguson has also threatened to file for constructive trust over the money seized on Black Friday, as well as injunctive relief, which could delay the forfeiture of FTP assets.

Online poker granted new Congressional hearing

Another hearing on online poker is going to take place in the US Senate on February 9. One of the topics of the hearing will be a recent decision by the Department of Justice to reverse its position on the Wire Act of 1961. La<A name="cutnews"></A>te in December, the DOJ stated that “interstate transmissions of wire communications that do not relate to a ‘sporting event of contest’ fall outside the reach of the Wire Act," which means poker is not in violation of the Wire Act, as it had been in the past.

Rich Muny, a representative of the Poker Players Alliance, sent the following e-mail to PPA members this week: "These continued hearings are hard evidence of the great work the poker community has been doing to ensure our elected representatives hear from us. I thank everyone for taking the steps necessary to ensure our elected representatives understand that we poker enthusiasts will not back down and will not simply go away!"

So the cunt Ferguson siphoned money out of the player accounts to line his own pockets for salaries, then when shit hit the fan he then took that money and put it back into secret accounts and withdrew it instead of keeping it for players funds. What a fucking prick and I hope someone who isn't an internet tough guy like me, actually finds him.

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time
