Ray Bitar Files Claim Challenging U.S. Department of Justice Forfeiture Allegations
On Sept. 28, Full Tilt Poker CEO Raymond Bitar, filed a claim against the United States Department of Justice's forfeiture allegations. Bitar's claim is in accordance with Rule G of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty and Maritime Claims, which is part of the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure.
Generally, Admiralty Law covers offenses that are maritime in nature; however, the law also covers "commercial activities that are land based or occur wholly on land, that are maritime in character." Rule G went into effect in Dec. of 2006, and "governs procedures for civil asset...

sports21Actually remeber the government SEIZED hundreds of millions of dollars from Full Tilt--enough to pay back the players. The government should release those funds to the players but interestingly enough they are starting more smear campaigns against FT in an attempt to sabotage any attempts for the company to recover. I am angry at the US government as they point fingers at FT while they hold more than enough money to pay the players. Why wont the government release THOSE funds to the US players??
