The Financial Times today published a story that founders of Full Tilt Poker may be facing grand jury indictments soon. Specifically, the grand jury is examining whether Tilt has broken any gambling and money-laundering laws. In our unscientific personal investigation, we have learned that they have not.
Anyway, copy+paste:
The probe is aimed at Full Tilt Poker and individuals including Chris Ferguson and Howard Lederer, champion gamblers who are among those accused of controlling the company in a Los Angeles civil lawsuit filed last year…FBI agents or prosecutors have spoken to at least two people involved in disputes with Full Tilt, paying special attention to the possibility of money-laundering violations, those familiar with the inquiry say. Money-laundering charges might be attractive to the government as they would compel co-operation from authorities even in countries where gambling is legal.
