Groupe Bernard Tapie’s lawyer Behnam Dayanim made a statement to PokerStrategy.com that the parties involved have mutually decided to extend the previous deadline and that positive progress had been made with the Full Tilt takeover deal.
GBT has subsequently been investigating the financial inner workings of Full Tilt and have uncovered that several former pros owe large sums of money to the company totaling $16.5 Million. Considering the purchase price of $80 Million, the $16.5 Million in outstanding professional player debts to Full Tilt Poker is significant and could potentially put the deal in serious jeopardy.
To date GBT has been quiet about the deal for the most part, preferring to hold closed meetings keeping issues encountered private, however in this case Groupe Bernard Tapie have made the issue public regarding several pro’s outstanding debts in order to apply pressure to those owing money to the company and possibly to educate the public that those implicated are not all as guilt free as they claim to be regarding players getting their money back from FullTilt.
