ULTIMATE POKER PROS FALL OUT WITH MANAGEMENT
2013-10-22

In what appears to be a disagreement with management, at least two members of Nevada-based Ultimate Poker.com's professional team Apuestas NFL have ended their contracts with Team U.
Randy Dorfman and Tom Marchese - and possibly others - have indicated that they are dissatisfied with management's response to their suggestions on improving the playing environment at the site, with Dorfman using social media site Facebook to voice his frustration.
I have resigned from Ultimate Poker as their Team Pro. At this point in my life there are more important and creative things for me to be involved with. To have your ideas and experiences from the game I love fall on deaf ears while you bust your ass to build a game for a new Company just was extremely frustrating to me, Dorfman wrote, closing on a a more amicable tone with:
I wish UP the best and I hope things do turn around for them. I met some great people there and hopefully the chemistry between all involved gets straightens out soon.
Ultimate Poker.com was the first Nevada intrastate online poker site to go operational earlier this year, signing up respected professional players to promote the site.
Thus far Ultimate Gaming management has not commented on the issue.

FORMER FULL TILT POKER BOSS SENTENCED
2013-04-16

Former Full Tilt Poker chief executive Ray Bitar was all over the US mainstream media again Monday, having formalised his guilty p video poker lea flowing from the Black Friday shutdown of the company two years ago (see previous InfoPowa reports).
Last week Bitar's legal representatives revealed that he would plead guilty and accept the forfeiture of some $40 million in cash and assets, but that he would throw himself on the mercy of the court to avoid jail time, due to a serious health problem that requires a heart transplant.
On Monday Bitar's plea was formalised by U.S. District Court Judge Loretta Preska in a Manhattan Court, with Bitar appearing via video link from California due to his poor health.
Judge Preska confirmed Bitar's guilty pleas on charges of fraud and violating the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, and the forfeiture requirement.
She also ruled that despite federal sentencing guidelines which called for imprisonment of over seven years, Bitar would not go to jail due to the parlous condition of his health. He was credited with time served in respect of the seven days he spent in detention following his arrest.
Bitar's plea included the admission that he conspired with others to find ways to process hundreds of millions of dollars of gambling revenues through U.S. banks by disguising the income as money generated by phony companies that seemed unrelated to gambling.
He said that he and others falsely promised customers that their money was safe and secure and that funds were held in segregated accounts.
I regret my actions. I know they were wrong and illegal. I am very sorry, Bitar said.
