News: Exclusive: Full Tilt Poker CEO Ray Bitar Apologizes to the Poker World

On top of hardly saying anything worth a damn, the fact that Bitar talks about being involved in the "future plans of FTP" is disturbing enough. How the hell are you going to have faith moving forward in a guy responsible for letting over 400 million fall through the cracks?

'bout a week behind the news cycle, but thanks for playing anyway

[daschuck77]

True. Kind of wanted to discuss it here instead weaving through a thread of full of smart assed remarks on 2+2.

Took only nearly a year from Ray-BAN to apologize. LOL No hurries.

[abby99]

I'll accept his apology (cough, cough) when I gets my moniez!

[wartdog]

comin up on a year and things just dont look promising, GBT deal may fail, another group may want only the FTP software for $30-$35M which probably would hose any player money owed...Pokerstars was shut down for a small blip of time and here FTP is still constipated, as much as i think FTP was a better site with better software, it appears it was a huge clusterf*ck....purposely or not...sucks, but now i dont care, they can keep my nickles, just give me real money online poker again

"My silence was not an attempt to “hide,” or “ignore,” the situation. It was done out of necessity to ensure the focus remained on the continued efforts to reach the best outcome for the players."

Oh well, thank you. We wouldn't want you taking a couple minutes out of the time you spent lurking in dark alleyways just to let the people know that you and your people were working on it and that you were sorry to have let down the entire poker community.

Someone famous said "Baseball bat to the side of the head." Now having apologized I guess he can downgrade that to "Baseball bat to the side of the knee." Whichever works for you.

[BGinGA]

They can keep my moniez, so long as I get the evil satisfaction of knowing that every night Bitar is forced down on his knees somewhere in a murky NY prison cell.

I miss rush poker so much more than the cash. GFY, Ray.

[JoseRijo]

I have been working every single day since Black Friday to ensure players are repaid, which has been my top priority, as well as working on the future plans of FTP.

That's reassuring, OJ.

There is nothing too horrible that could happen to this guy.
