A new batch of the players who have been waiting for their money that was frozen on Full Tilt when the U.S. authorities decided to shut down the poker room in 2011 are going to receive a refund within "a few weeks," the Executive Director of the Poker Players Alliance, John Pappas, stated on PocketFives on Oct. 2.
Pappas explained that the next payment is supposed to distribute as much as $5.7 million among roughly 2,000 players at Full Tilt.
"I Just spoke my contact at the Department Of Justice Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section (DOJ AFMLS) and learned that another batch is ready to be issued, but it could still be a few weeks till it hits player bank accounts," Pappas said.
