This was the next step in the complicated process of transferring Full Tilt assets (by way of the US Department of Justice) to Groupe Bernard Tapie. It follows the November 17th agreement between DOJ and GBT that allows GBT to purchase forfeited FTP assets from the DOJ, likely via the, Asset Forfieture Fund for an agreed-upon price of $80 million. In return, GBT also agrees to repay or otherwise make whole non-US players, who are owed over $150 million.
