  The executive director of the Alderney Gambling Control Commission says he decided to suspend five egambling licenses of Full Tilt Poker because of “several issues” that arose as part of a special investigation involving forensic auditors that was prompted by the U.S. government’s online poker crackdown.

  Looks like something major is going on at Full Tilt.  It was always going to be a political target but this is a surprise.  What's everyone's thoughts?

  Looks like Full Tilt isn't going to be with us long. A snippet from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission contains the following...
  
  "The above named companies must, until the Suspension Notices are cancelled or the Commissioners of AGCC have reached a determination at the conclusion of the hearing convened in accordance with Regulation 46 of the Alderney eGambling Regulations, 2009 cease to exercise their eGambling licenses, which means that these licensees must from today cease to:-
   Register new customers;
   Accept deposits from existing customers;
   Allow existing customers to withdraw funds that are held in their accounts; and
   Permit customers to participate in any form of poker game play or gambling transaction.
  The Alderney Gambling Control Commission will hear the matters contained in the Hearing Notices at a Regulatory Hearing which will commence at 10.00am on Tuesday 26th July,"

  Wow, I wasn't aware of the $60 million shortfall from crediting player accounts despite processing issues.
  
  I don't quite understand how they could allow themselves to get into a position where they credited 60 million to people when they never received that money, sounds pretty shifty to me.
  
  Perhaps Lederer WAS out to get me!

  had quite a bit more,---I guess I'll have o face reality that I'll never see it. Saw that Lederer and Ferguson have publicly resigned from PPA. My guess is Tilt invested their player float in something and got killed.
