This has probably been posted somewhere already but here is an interview with the potential new owner.  It sounds like they want the DOJ to release a lot of the money that they have taken over the years in seizures.

In the interview they say that over 300 million was frozen. However, that is not the amount frozen on Black Friday, that is the amount seized over the last 4 years. While I belive it likely that the DOJ might release what they have currently frozen, I find it extremely unlikely that they will say to the investors, "Here, this is the money that we have seized over the last four years from what we believe to be an illegal operation. You guys take it we don't want it anymore."

If the deal hinges on the DOJ giving back money that they have taken pre Black Friday, I would not be overly optimistic.

That having been said this is the best news since the shutdown in June for the players.

Good luck.
