Grand Jury investigating Full Tilt?

[2Tone]

From the Financial Times ...

A federal grand jury in Manhattan is investigating one of the largest internet poker sites serving US gamblers and could bring indictments against some of the world's best known professional players, according to people familiar with the case and a subpoena issued to a witness this week.

The probe is aimed at Full Tilt Poker and individuals including Chris Ferguson and Howard Lederer, champion gamblers who are among those accused of controlling the company in a Los Angeles civil lawsuit filed last year. Online gambling is illegal in the US and according to the subpoena the investigation is examining whether gambling and money-laundering laws have been broken.

Full Tilt Poker’s owner has been hit with a lawsuit from the US state of Kentucky demanding the return of monies lost by its citizens on the poker site, just days after it was reported the world’s second-largest poker room is the subject of a federal grand jury probe into money laundering.

Filed in Kentucky’s Franklin Circuit Court by secretary of the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet J. Michael Brown on 25 March, the civil action calls for Full Tilt owner and operator Pocket Kings Ltd to refund “treble the amount of gambling losses sustained by Kentucky-based gamblers between March 25, 2005 and September 25, 2009”.
