The apology comes shortly after the Full Tilt merger with PokerStars last week, players are now playing on the PokerStars network with thousands of players online.
Howard’s sincere apology seems genuine as he has had time to reflect on his actions and how he let down the entire poker community. The Howard Lederer files, a series of video interviews by PokerNews seemed to upset players more with his smug attitude and denial of wrong doing.
Maybe he plans to return to the live poker circuit releasing a statement just before the 2016 World Series of Poker.
