Tapie who wants to revive Full Tilt Poker has the band to hire an experienced lawyer to negotiate with the Department of Justice. It is indeed the same lawyer that had hired Party Poker and Neteller when they had to negotiate with the DoJ when the UIGEA came into force. It should be noted that this law made illegal banking transactions destined for online games sites in the United States.
At this time, (July 2007), NETeller had paid the sum of $ 136 million to American justice to resolve his situation while PartyPoker was acquitted in April 2009 an amount of $ 105 million to clear the prosecution of the DoJ (illegal activities between 1997 and 2006). A pittance considering all the money PartyPoker did during this period.
According to several people, this lawyer hiring could accelerate aware of things. Hope that these people say true!
