I know who helped, and it wasn’t him.ĭid you feel that Ferguson was indicating that if the full story was told, he would be exonerated in some way? There is evidence though, that he did a lot to block deals that were potentially in place to pay the players. So there’s no evidence that he did anything to help. They said he hid in Arizona under his covers at his parents’ house and like, wouldn’t come out. I felt like he was disingenuous and lying when he said, ‘I did everything I could post-Black Friday.’ That’s not what everyone else said. I know enough about what happened, because I was obviously intimately involved with some of the people, and from what I saw, it was gross negligence. Well, the interesting thing about the Full Tilt Poker story being told…so if he tells his side of the story, then Howard tells his, and then Phil Gordon tells his, and Phil Ivey tells his, Ray Bitar tells his, it won’t be the same story. In the video, Ferguson mentioned that he looks forward to the Full Tilt Poker story being told. Besides that, in some cases there is a case of too little too late, and this was too little, and way too late. I didn’t hear the biggest shareholder, who convinced everyone that Ray Bitar was the right CEO, really showing genuine responsibility or remorse. In this video from Chris, I didn’t hear any personal responsibility. I’m a forgiving person and Howard Lederer reached out, he wrote a letter, and I felt like he was genuine and heartfelt and he took some responsibility for his role. It almost looked like a hostage situation where he’s reading from a prompter. Interview with Daniel NegreanuĬan you elaborate on your reaction to the Ferguson apology video? To preface the interview, you may want to have a look at the Twitter reactions of Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth, which Negreanu also addresses in the interview. PokerNews caught up with "DNegs" during a break at the WPT Tournament of Champions taking place at ARIA to get a more in-depth view of his thoughts on the 42-second attempt at an apology. Chief among the disapprovers of Ferguson’s prolonged silence regarding any acknowledgment of his role in the Full Tilt Poker scandal has been Daniel Negreanu. In the wake of the Chris Ferguson apology video release on Wednesday, members of the poker community have taken to Twitter to react.
