Another day, another piece of news regarding Full Tilt Poker. On Friday, a filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York included an arrest warrant in remof assets belonging to Full Tilt Poker’s Ray Bitar, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, and Rafe Furst. The warrants stem in part from a filing earlier this week from the U.S. Department of Justice that labeled Full Tilt Poker a “global Ponzi scheme.”

The newest filing, which was leaked by sites like PokerNews and signed September 19th, refers to the amended Black Friday complaint and asserts that the DOJ has “probable cause that the property described below is subject to seizure and forfeiture.” It adds that the monetary transactions were “involved in, or traceable to, money laundering” and stemmed from an “illegal gambling business.”

According to the DOJ, Full Tilt Poker paid out $443 million to its executives and pros, while at the same time owing nearly $400 million to players as of March of this year. Many from Full Tilt’s camp have taken issue with the DOJ’s use of the phrase “Ponzi scheme” and, in fact, the site reportedly lost two potential investors this week after the dreaded “p-word” was dropped.

The seizure warrant affects five bank accounts belonging to Bitar, Lederer (pictured), Ferguson, and Telamonian Ajax Trust:

Bank Account #1: “All funds and other property on deposit in account numbered GB81 RBOS 60954234087766 held at NatWest in the name of Raymond Bitar.”

Bank Account #2: “All funds and other property on deposit in account numbered 7655741861 held at Wells Fargo Bank N.A. in the name of HH Lederer Consulting LLC.”

Bank Account #3: “All funds and other property on deposit in account numbered GB56 LOYD 30166314010402 held at Lloyds TSB International, Isle of Mann, in the name of Howard Lederer.”

Bank Account #4: “All funds and other property on deposit in account numbered 40039049628 held at Citibank N.A. in the name of Chris Ferguson.”

Bank Account #5: “Account numbered CH87 0875 505706840010 0 held at Pictet & Co Bankers, Switzerland, in the name of Telamonian Ajax Trust.”

The amended complaint from the U.S. Department of Justice, dated September 19th, alleged that Lederer picked up $42 million from the purported Ponzi scheme, while Bitar earned $41 million. Ferguson collected $85 million, but was only paid $25 million, while Furst (pictured), who according to Wicked Chops is linked to Telamonian Ajax Trust, received $11 million from what was once the world’s second largest online poker room. Now, its tables are completely silent.

Furst told his followers earlier this week that he had nothing to hide.

On PocketFives.com, posters debated what would become of the seized assets belonging to the Full Tilt Poker Board members. One member of the online poker community forecasted, “If it is a determined to be a Ponzi scheme, I’d assume they’d pay off victims from seized assets after the long process of determining who is deserving of what, including the Government taking what they think they deserve.”

Another PocketFiver announced that he could care less what happens to the contents of the five bank accounts as long as he’s paid back: “I don’t care if they all get their assets seized or if they get to keep everything and get off free. As long as I get paid, I don’t care. If I don’t get paid, I hope they lose everything and get put in jail for as long as possible. Hope they do the right thing and give it to the players and don’t be selfish pricks.”

Earlier this week, the Poker Players Alliance called for any proceeds from the alleged Ponzi scheme or associated seizures to go directly to affected players. The organization added, “We further call on Full Tilt Poker, its management, directors, and owners to take all available steps to ensure the prompt payment of players as their first priority.” Despite the pleas, no announcement of refunds has been issued.

Meanwhile, the result of a closed-door meeting between Full Tilt Poker and Alderney Gambling Control Commission representatives has not been publicly announced. PocketFives.com has made numerous attempts to reach out to the AGCC, all of which have gone unreturned in recent days. A decision was purportedly going to be handed down on Thursday, but did not occur. When it will now is anyone’s guess.
