Pokerstars BUYS FTP

Extremely interesting news considering that everyone though Tapie was still in the running to purchase Full Tilt. There are so many different questions and variables that come into this though like whether they would merge into one network and keep separate clients or what not.
One thing that baffles me though is the fact that the DoJ is essentially ignoring the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by allowing, by far, the biggest poker company on the market to purchase the former second largest company. Essentially creating a giant monopoly in the industry that will raise some questions in the future whenever the U.S does legalize online poker.

I would love to see FTP running again and if players receive monies back then i think alot of players will show abit of trust back to whoever takes over FTP as they will have got them their money and i know many players just love the set-up that FTP had,it's gameplay was 1st class and will always get plenty of players imo if this goes through,monopolies i don't usually like as i like to see s1 competing with P/stars but if they pull this off it will be a masterstroke.

Would this act really apply to a non US international company who would not be doing business in the US at the completion of the deal. Its not like the government is going to allow them back into the US market anytime soon, and so far the issue has been left up to the individual states for legalization.One thing that baffles me though is the fact that the DoJ is essentially ignoring the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by allowing, by far, the biggest poker company on the market to purchase the former second largest company.

I for one would like to see something happen that would allow for the all players to be paid back.
Wicked Chops and Pokerfuse are reporting that the deal between the Department of Justice and Pokerstars to acquire FTP and settle their civil suit is confirmed to be complete!!!

We’ve been working various sources to independently confirm Poker Fuse’s initial report of PokerStars acquiring Full Tilt Poker.
According to those aforementioned sources, the deal is in fact done. PokerStars is acquiring Full Tilt Poker. The $750M price tag (which includes player balances and DoJ fines) initially reported on 2+2 and Poker Fuse is also accurate.

'PokerStars has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to buy FTP'...
Hooooo... many forums confirmed and affirmed, but PS refuse to communicate, and nothing is published by DOJ...
What do you think ??? Its only a new negociation and, unfortabily, your bankroll's FTP are in the same situation since 1 year...blocked ...
Thats reality...

Yes why not stars it deserves this it is such good poker client must say i am more than impress i just join pokerstars yesterday made mine first deposit and there are so many tourneys to play it is very exciting to play on it now i know why people are rave so much about this. i have never enjoy play stud i did not even know properly but now i know how play stud lo hi and even razz. now i know even horse. If they make FTP similar to this i would also like play there for sure it would be great pleasure of mine looking forward to new FTP in PS style!

With the old owners gone, it would be hard to stay away if the new owners maintain or improve on either of these promotions.
