PIT Poll of the Week
FBI Investigates Full Tilt– Centers Around Lederer and Ferguson
If a recent report in the Financial Times is any indication, online poker room Full Tilt Poker could be in major legal trouble before 2025 is over. According to the article, a federal grand jury in Manhattan is investigating the company and some of the big names affiliated with the site. The Times names both Chris Ferguson andHoward Lederer as potential targets of the investigation. The two are believed to hold a "controlling interest" in Full Tilt Poker and, as US residents, they may be charged with breaking US anti-gambling laws. Though Lederer and Ferguson both reside in the US, Full Tilt is registered in Alderney, which is part of the UK's Channel Islands.
In addition to investigating potential violations of gaming laws within the States, the inquiry is also looking into accusations of money laundering by the company. The Times elaborated on the nature of the investigation:
"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."
The move is seen by many to be in anticipation of the June 1st enforcement deadline of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). The act had previously been delayed six months, but there appears to be no future delays for the legislation. This move is being seen by many within the online gambling industry as an attempt by the Justice Department to make an example out of one of the biggest sites currently serving US customers once the UIGEA goes into effect.
The article failed to name any of the individuals the FBI spoke to in connection to the case and Eric Jackson, a civil attorney who represents Full Tilt, declined commenting on the matter. "We are not going to comment about a speculative grand jury investigation that we are not aware of," Jackson told the publication. Representatives from the US Attorney's Office also declined to comment on the matter.
Bluff will continue to keep tabs on this story as it develops.

some really nice and useful information on this web site
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

One of the most beneficial blogs I have come across for tips in this particular market. I’ll be checking back constantly for unique posts.
I’m impressed, I must say. Really seldom do I discovered a blog that is both informative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your blog is important; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to it.
Just browsing your blog, how long have you had it? I love the design.
Hey admin, I have a tiny request. I was just googleing for some info on this topic you wrote and found this blog. Some really great stuff you shared here, can I please link to this post on my new website I'm currently working on? It would be great
. I will check back again later to see how you responded. cheers, Nina Wilson
That's a very good feedback. What are your thoughts on expansion on a global scale? People obviously get frustrated when it begins to affect them locally. I will be back soon and follow up with a response.

Hullo, perhaps this is not on topic but anyway, I have been reading about your web site and it looks truly tidy. impassioned about your writing. I'm building a new web log and hard put to make it appear great, and provide really good content. I have revealed very much on your website and I look forward to more updates and will be coming back.
So much excellent information on here. I found it on Bing

Thanks so much for this! I have not been this thrilled by a blog for quite some time! You have got it, whatever that means in blogging. Well, You are certainly somebody that has something to say that people need to hear. Keep up the outstanding job. Keep on inspiring the people!
What theme are you utilizing here ? I like the style. Thank you for the post. Jack Hoga
I’d forever want to be update on new articles on this website , saved to favorites ! .
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
My favorite is the Blue Leaf Murano Wine glass Dangle Bracelet.
really this is a nice web thank you thanks admin good post super messege
