We talked you quickly on Facebook yesterday, one Twoplustwo Member, "sparky999" has launched an online petition to be banned from the next World Series of Poker Full Tilt Poker shareholders as well as those who are involved in the debt of FTP. Demand will also further: she insists on the fact that, if the Committee of the WSOP does not in favour of this petition, that players will decide to boycott the WSOP to go play the cash games deep in the Venitian.
On the other hand, as you will have inferred it surely, this petition has faults and some critics. For example, it does not exist in this day of official list of players involved in the case of FTP. Another detail that Bell; the WSOP have no connection with FTP and has no interest to paralyze the tradition are the WSOP because of this case.
The author of the thread says: he continued: "If the WSOP are not in agreement with this proposal I propose that as a community we boycottions the WSOP for the benefit of the Venetian tournaments Deepstack. I firmly believe that if we act collectively, they will have no other choice than to listen to us. I find it intolerable that those people are able to maintain our community, without that we have remedies against these thieves of hundreds of millions of dollars. To my knowledge, a single player said it would make all of the funds received by this fraudulent company, which in itself is a disgrace. They knew at the time that the dividends received were stolen in the pockets of players or not has no importance, from the point where it became clear that the money received was stolen, each of them should propose to repay every penny in their possession".
Among other criticisms, some mention: "Why for example, Phil Gordon should pay the debt of Howard Lederer?".
And, the most important point in my opinion, I would see very badly Howard Lederer go to register for a tournament the WSOP in 2012. The United States is the country with the largest number of murders per year with more than 11,000 worldwide. Be instead of Lederer, I would be extremely uncomfortable to present me on a table of WSOP (even if the worst does not happen, we bet it will be victim of intimidation and threats).
I think that naturally and without the aid of a petition, these players will not attend the next WSOP.
