Doyle Brunson opens up on Full Tilt scandal.
Doyle Brunson has published a new blog update, in which he goes through the whole Full Tilt Poker debacle.
Brunson tells, that he is not defending anyone or persecuting anyone, and that he has at least been in contact with Howard Lederer during the last few months:
-It looks like Bitar, Ferguson and Lederer are taking all the heat. Ferguson had a lot of faith in his friend Bitar. It is widely perceived that Howard Lederer was still heavily involved in running the company even though he retired two or three years earlier. I've been in contact with Lederer the last few months.
-When someone I've known for years, trusted and respected looks me dead in the eye and says he didn't know about the financial problems, call me a big old Texas sucker because I will believe them. I have not talked to Ferguson but I understand he says what Lederer told me, that they didn't know.
-There are at least 4 stockholders that own more of FT than Lederer. Where were they? The guilt should be shared IF its true Lederer and Ferguson didn't know of the financial mess.
Brunson also adds, that he does not want to "take a baseball bat and crush their grapes", or exclude them from rejoining the poker world.
