Daniel Negreanu Calls FTP’s Lederer and Ferguson “Scumbags”
Poker players who are angry with Full Tilt Poker and are still struggling with trying to get their money out of the accounts will be happy to know that they have a spokesperson in Daniel Negreanu.
Negreanu has been known to be quite vocal about different issues in the poker industry and the US online poker and Full Tilt Poker scam has not escaped his sharp eye. In a recent video that Negreanu posted on YouTube, the poker player sand blasted Howard Lederer, Ray Bitar and Chris Ferguson for not having the decency to respond to player queries or make a statement regarding Full Tilt Poker’s insolvency and inability to pay back players.
All three men, Lederer, Bitar and Ferguson are c- owners of the Full Tilt Poker company and had been marketing themselves as the faces of Full Tilt, inviting players to come and “chat with the pros.”
Negreanu begins on a slightly humorous note regarding Full Tilt Poker. “In a recent blog, I made some comments about Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Ray Bitar, mentioning that something to the effect of old-school Vegas-style baseball bats to the groin for what they’ve done. And you know, I’ve come to realize those comments are pretty harsh, and I’ve had some time to think about what I’d said, and yeah, I think they were absolutely appropriate,” Negreanu stated.
A little later Negreanu turned a little red in the face and spouted steam at them calling them scumbags – an opinion that hundreds of FTP players may in all likelihood agree with.
“I waited a long time, I really didn’t say anything for months, hoping you guys could rectify the situation, but you are scumbags, absolute flat-out scumbags, for ignoring the poker world that you fleeced for as much money as you did, and now you have nothing to say? Are you freaking serious?” he asked angrily.
The only thought that brought Negreanu out of his tirade was an upcoming trip to Brazil and Ireland.
