Full Tilt Units, Executives Win Civil RICO Suit Dismissal
Units of Full Tilt Poker and 10 executives won dismissal of civil claims
filed under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
The lawsuit was filed in June by Full Tilt poker players seeking to recoup,
as a group, about $150 million they claim they lost when the Ireland-based
Internet poker site and others like it were shut by U.S. Attorney Preet
Bharara in New York. Federal prosecutors accused the sites in criminal cases
of violating laws barring online gambling.
The shutdown date, April 15, 2011, came to be known in the online gambling
world as “Black Friday,” U.S. District Judge Leonard B. Sand said in his
ruling Jan. 30 rejecting the players’ racketeering claims as “too
attenuated” to proceed.
“It remains unclear whether the direct cause of the plaintiffs’ injuries
was the decision by the U.S. Attorney’s office to temporarily shut down the
Full Tilt poker website and seize the company’s assets,” Sand said, “or
was instead as plaintiffs’ conversion allegations suggest, the subsequent
decision by one or more of the defendants to halt player withdrawals.”
Full Tilt, which was named as a defendant in the case, was not among the
five affiliates, which included Full Tilt’s software developer and its site
operator, that asked for dismissal of the racketeering claim.
Sand allowed the players’ conversion claim to move forward against three of
the five Full Tilt units seeking dismissal and said the players could amend
their claims against the other two entities.
The case is Segal v. Bitar, 11-cv-4521, U.S. District Court, Southern
District of New York (Manhattan). | p****r
