Quite a vague response, though
Regarding the rumors that Full Tilt Poker will be taken over by Pokerstars, , head of corporate communications for PokerStars, Eric Hollreiser issued an official company statement, briefly noting: "We've had a lot of enquiries and there's lots of speculation on the forums, so I wanted to address the PokerStars chatter.
"As you know, PokerStars is in settlement discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice. As such settlement discussions are always confidential, we are unable to comment on rumours. As soon as we have information to share publicly, we will do so."
This neither confirms nor denies the rumors, but sheds a bit of light on the whole situation.
It's worth remembering that Pokerstars has already paid out its US players a reported $125 million in the wake of Black Friday.
It is now being speculated that its talks with US officials aim at halting criminal and civil proceedings in return for an agreed settlement, providing PokerStars with a clean slate in the market.
