Continued Speculations about the Full Tilt Acquisition by Pokerstars

Internet poker giant reportedly commences training procedures in Full Tilt Headquarters

The ill-fated closure of Full Tilt Poker on Black Friday was followed by optimistic news that Pokerstars started negotiations with the company and the US Department of Justice in order to close the deal on a possible acquisition.

After the withdrawal of the French Groupe Bernard Tapie from the initial talks re possible acquiring of Full Tilt, the way for a Pokerstars purchase and a resolution of players’ financial troubles seemed obstacle-free.

However, the positive developments were suddenly halted, and the rumours started to spread “revealing” a number of speculative and supposedly insider information, none of which were confirmed.

This week’s fresh rumours suggest that Pokerstars had sent staffers to the worn-out Dublin headquarters of Full Tilt for training purposes as a step in preparation of the successful deal announcement.

On the other hand,Full Tilt's parent, Pocket Kings has allegedly started to settle its liabilities towards some creditors that have not received any payments for over a year.

Current lack of official public statements from Pokerstars officials signal that any speculations should be put on hold until further notice.
