Four plaintiffs - including professional poker player and former lawyer Todd Terry - have brought a class action lawsuit against Full Tilt Poker on behalf of “a nation-wide class of Full Tilt account holders residing in the United States.”
The suit names as defendants Raymond Bitar and Nelson Burtnick - co-founders of the company, who were both named in the Black Friday indictments - as well as various businesses and corporations tied to the company, such as Vantage Ltd (named in the Alderney Gambling Control Commission’s statement accompanying its suspension of Full Tilt Poker’s (FTP) licences last week, as exclusively revealed by eGaming Review.
Also named are 13 members of ‘Team Full Tilt’, all alleged to have been “at all or some relevant time(s)...a shareholder and director of, and/or a participant in, Full Tilt and/or one or more Full Tilt companies.” These individuals include Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, and former World Series of Poker Main Event champion Chris Ferguson. The suit also names "1 to 100 John Does", the identities of whom "are currently unknown to plaintiffs."
