Default Re: who owns fulltilt?

It's probably correct to assume if these American citizens/apparent FTP owners(Ivey, Lederer, Bloch, etc.) are being paid revenues/paychecks from Full Tilt, it is going to off-shore accounts, or their Full Tilt account. No way they would be stupid enough to accept paychecks from an online gambling site to a US bank account in the midst of all the online gaming troubles in the US and the legal battles ensuing.

A reliable source told me that even though they are part owners, they do not receive paychecks from the site. To be honest, I have no idea how they get paid off the site (maybe through their player accounts like you said but Lederer doesn't seem to play on there?) but I have asked and gotten the answer that they don't get checks from the site for ownership. (I know, it doesn't make sense...just letting you know and it's a very reliable source).

Well, full tilt does pay entry fees for most of their pros and everyone on "team full tilt". That adds up just for the WSOP.
