Brandi Hawbaker owns controlling interest in Full Tilt Poker; she won it in a prop bet.

Real answer - Chris Ferguson owns a bit, Lederer, Ivey, Gowan, Harman (I think), basically a few of the top name pro's that not surpringly are the main members of Team Full Tilt

Does anyone know the actual % of each one in FullTilt? Is that information even public?

I kinda wonder why Clonie Gowen owns a piece of FT and if she does, how much.

How did Clonie Gowen

Two years ago I heard an interview on Jim Rome's radio show with Michael Franzese and he alluded to the ties between internet gambling/internet poker and organized crime. Franzese was a long-time mob boss making millions a week and wrote a must-read autobiography, "Blood Covenant." He is a gambling expert as he ran huge books back in his mob days. His quote on Rome's show was something like "you have no idea what online gaming is doing to the world." www.michaelfranzese.com if you don't believe me.

Anyway - without a long, drawn out response, I think it makes a helluva lot of sense connecting organized crime and online gambling/poker although I am purely speculating from second hand information. I also do think Team Full Tilt members do get pieces of the action, fwiw. Also, I am FOR online gaming, unless I know for a fact that revenues are linked to organized crime off shore.
