According to the source (iGaming Post), they got the news from a reliable person who is working close to AGCC and Full Tilt Poker’s case.

There hasn’t been any confirmation of the rumor yet.

According to the source, AGCC is still negotiating with Full Tilt about the license payments and such.

Looks like Full Tilt hasn’t found any investors to buy their business and if FTP’s gaming license is revoked, they will need to file a bankrupt plan.

At the same time SubjectPoker.com is telling that FTP is negotiating with some French investors and FTP tries to get their EU license up and the site running.

All the possible investors might back up though, as FTP is under suspection that the company was ran like a ponzi scheme and site owners like Howard Lederer and Chris “Jesus” Ferguson would have raised tens of millions of dollars straight from the “player accounts”.

Another scammer amongst the PokerStrategy coaches?

Poker-King writes that there’s now only a week to the public hearing and still nothing points to a direction where Full Tilt would have a new deal inked out.

“My guess is that Full Tilt’s lawyers will say that the company is still engaged in negotiations and needs more time to close a deal. I also guess that this request will be granted by the AGCC. Full Tilt’s license would remain suspended under this scenario.”

“Another possibility (though less likely, IMO) for the September 19th hearing would be the AGCC deciding to revoke Full Tilt Poker’s license. I would be surprised if this took place on September 19th, but it is a possibility.”

Well, only time will tell and in a week we will be much wiser.
