Hellmuth's Thinking Flawed Regarding D.C. iGaming
Phil Hellmuth recently told the Washington Post that he
didn't feel Washington D. C. 's upcoming iGaming site will be

Qureshi Admits to Chip Dumping and Cover-up for Prodigy Scam
A couple of days ago, I wrote a blog about the Portuguese
Scamming Prodigy, aka Jose "Girah" Macedo. In that blog, I talked about Girah's admissions of guilt in
his blog, etc. Now, even more evidence has come out
regarding the case, including an admission by Haseeb Qureshi
that makes things look even worse. On Wednesday, Bluff Magazine posted a interview with Qureshi
where he admitted to chip dumping to Macedo,
multi-accounting on numerous occasions on both Lock Poker
and on TwoPlusTwo, helping to cover up the scandal, and even
admitted that he didn't verify that Girah's stats were real.

that "The recent payment of overdue license fees by FTP is
also in playersâ best interests since it allows
commercial negotiations to take place that might result in a
successful refinancing deal. "
If you read between the lines, that basically equates to "We
will give them their license back should Full Tilt secure a
deal.

According to a post on Wicked Chops
Poker[http://wickedchopspoker. com/ray-bitar-out-at-full-tilt-alderney-to-unsuspend-license/],
Ray Bitar is out at Full Tilt Poker as the CEO and there is
a good chance that the Alderney Gambling Control Commission
will reinstate Full Tilt Poker's license. If the story from WCP proves to be true, this will be some
of the best news since it was announced that Full Tilt Poker
is in talks to sell controlling interest in the company. WCP made a great point about any new investor not wanting
someone running the company that was indicted by the U.
