Chris Ferguson Settles with US Government

Former Full Tilt Poker owner Chris Ferguson followed in the footsteps of Howard Lederer and Rafe Furst with a civil forfeiture. Papers were filed with the US Southern District Court of New York and await the final signature from the judge, which is expected.

The settlement includes a stipulation that Ferguson admits no liability, culpability or guilt, and he was unaware of any wrongful activity at Full Tilt. He does agree to pay the US government $2.35 million, along with an undisclosed amount of “Ferguson Account Funds,” all of which will be used to ultimately repay outstanding debt to US players. He also agrees not to work for any unlicensed online gambling or online poker entity.
