Message: [QUOTE="Pothole, post: 1794840, member: 32288"] [IMG]http://www.egrmagazine.com/article_images/articledir_3394/1697182/1_feature.jpg[/IMG] The United States District Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York has filed awarrant for accounts belonging to the four Full Tilt Poker (FTP) board members named in [URL="http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/1695827/breaking-tiltware-owners-paidhundreds-of-millionsfrom-player-funds.thtml"]the amended civil complaint[/URL] against the operator. [URL="http://www.scribd.com/doc/66071898/Signed-Arrest-Warrant-in-Rem-for-Amended-Complaint"]The warrant in question[/URL] commands FBI officers to seize certain funds and property belonging to Ray Bitar, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and the Telamonian Ajax Trust (the latter tied to Rafe Furst in Tuesday’s amendment). Following the unsealing of [URL="http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/1659032/pokerstars-and-full-tilt-founders-indicted.thtml"]the original Black Friday indictments[/URL] in April, US authorities [URL="http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/1662547/no-date-set-for-tilt-show-resumption.thtml"]moved to seize property belonging to Bitar[/URL], as well as a house owned by the wife of fellow indictee Chad Elie. With the exception of the Swiss bank account registered with the Telamonian Ajax Trust, the remaining four named accounts have attached to them a warrant to seize “All funds and property on deposit”. Of the remaining four accounts, one is tied to Bitar, one to Ferguson, one to Lederer and the fourth to “HH Lederer Consulting LLC.” The account in the name of Lederer is registered with Lloyds TSB International on the Isle of Mann (sic.), while no country is specified with regards to the remaining accounts. Lawyer Jeff Ifrah previously revealed to [I]eGaming Review[/I] that [URL="http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/1689182/management-overhaul-likely-to-follow-ftp-takeover.thtml"]any takeover of FTP would likely see the current management replaced[/URL]. It is unclear what impact the new warrant could have on future investment in the company. The operator is believed to have [URL="http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/1696322/ftp-receives-letter-of-intent-from-investor.thtml"]received a letter of intent from an investor[/URL], while the Alderney Gambling Control Commission is yet to publish a verdict following [URL="http://www.egrmagazine.com/news/1694657/full-tilt-hearing-to-take-place-in-private.thtml"]its hearing[/URL] into the suspension of the operator’s licences on the Channel Island. The London hearing is ongoing and is due to be concluded later this week. [/QUOTE]
