Update: New Info Arrives from Former FTP Employee

Sad developments in FTP case New info regarding the current situation at Full Tilt Poker arrived this week when a former staff member revealed many details about a number of issues within the company. Asked what it was like before the crisis, the man said: "Working conditions when I began were fantastic. 2nd to none. Full lunch service for .10c. Sweet and crisps all over the place. It was only after BF that we lost all these things one by one (without notice btw)" When things went really bad, the retrenched employees were given standard lay-off packages prescribed by Irish law. According to the former employee, even though some players claim that the scandal involved hole cards and cheating software, the situation was not like that at all: "There's no such thing as seeing hole cards. Only in a hand replayer which was way behind live time." "There was definitely a lot of players with sizeable balances [when the site shut down].” In terms of the potential re-launch planned for the site the man answered: "Yes there is a relaunch scheme in place. Doubt details will be released any time soon but there is incentives for current players to keep playing and big bonuses for new customers." As for the security aspect of their workplace, he opined: "The only security in place was a swipe card which you needed to access every part of Pocket Kings. No sense of fear at all for some raging lunatic to come bashing down the door looking for money." In conclusion, he said: "The likelihood of people being paid is quite high imo. It's just a matter of time. There is a new bonus being revised at the moment that will allow you to buy ring game tokens with your FTPs."
