Inicio > Howard Lederer apologizes for the Full Tilt Poker fiasco

The last blog entry written by Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu Flag of Canadá took everyone by surprise. After attacking Howard Lederer Flag of Estados Unidos for years for the 2011 Black Friday fiasco, the Canadian player published a letter in which Lederer says he regrets of what happened.

«I take full responsibility for Full Tilt’s failure to protect player deposits leading up to Black Friday. The shortfall in player deposits should never have happened. I should have provided better oversight or made sure that responsible others provided that oversight. I was a founder in the company that launched Full Tilt, and I became the face of the company’s management in the poker community. Many of our players played on the site because they trusted me.»

You can read the full statement HERE and altough he says he had nothing to do with the operations, he is responsible por everything that happened when he was there. You may remember that since then everytime he was interviewed about the situation he said he had nothing to do with it.

«I think this is the kind of apology people would have liked to read five years ago. It may be too little too late for some, but it’s a far cry from The Lederer Files. Does it definitively answer all the questions surrounding what he knew and what he didn’t know? No. Does it change the fact that people who trusted Howard, both investors and customers alike, were let down? No. Does it mean that you should be any less pissed at him for what happened? That one is up to you I guess.»

Daniel thinks the apology is sincere and accepts it but he also knows that many people will remain angry at Lederer.
