Breaking News: AGCC Full Tilt Poker Hearing Adjourned Until September 15
PokerNews is live in London at the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) hearing for Full Tilt Poker. The hearing gets under way at the Victoria Park Plaza Hotel, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London SW1V 1EQ at 1000 BST (0200 PDT) on Tuesday, July 26, 2011.
On June 29, the AGCC suspended the license of Full Tilt Poker and ordered the site to suspend all operations. Games on Full Tilt Poker came to a sudden halt and have not resumed.
Since then, very little concrete evidence has come to light, but the rumor mill has been churning, most notably on the subject of whether Full Tilt can...
The slow wheels of bureaucracy grind painfully and rarely in the interest of anything but $$$$.

RGC2005A public and transparent proceeding in which Full Tilt would have to account for itself? We should have know this was too good to be true.

I find the faux-legal language of the AGCC quite amusing. These ad hoc gaming "commissions" like Alderney and Kanawakee are embarrassingly crude, undoubtedly very expensive, rubber stamps for the likes of Full Tilt. How did they fool us into forgetting that?

This whole this is a COMPLETE JOKE! No player is EVER going to see a dime of their money from FT or UB. The US govt has what money there was. They were all using player funds to fund their businesses! That is why they do not have $$$$$. We all got screwed case closed!

donfisher1971It's sad that the courts are allowing Full Tilt to explore future business opportunities before answering for it's past, corrupt practices first. But FTP will eventually have some days in U.S. courts, responding to a class action law suit, and again to the U.S. Govt. Until that happens, FTP remains in the doghouse with poker consumers Worldwide. I'm gonna have to shake Harry Demetriou's hand the next time I see him - good on you Harry!!
