Full Tilt Poker sued in California
The suit was brought by Los Angeles residents Lary Kennedy and Greg Omotoy and names a slew of defendants including Ray Bitar, the domain’s Chief Executive Officer, and board members Howard Lederer and Chris Ferguson. Professional poker players Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen are also named in the action as they helped to promote the website and attract customers.
Full Tilt Poker had its licences from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission revoked last month after examinations conducted by the jurisdiction revealed that the domain had ‘fundamentally misled’ investigators regarding its ‘operational integrity’.
In addition, Bitar, Ferguson, Lederer and Full Tilt Poker director Rafe Furst are under investigation in the United States concerning allegations of fraud and have had some of their personal assets seized while the site itself is the subject of a class-action lawsuit brought by disgruntled Canadian players.
The California suit alleges that Full Tilt Poker owes plaintiff Omotoy ten dollars while Kennedy is purportedly due us$ 120,000.
