Laid-off Full Tilt employees speak out on 2+2

After laying-off some 200 employees from their Dublin offices, a couple of the former Full Tilt Poker employees decided to trash the already struggling site on the 2+2 poker forum, airing what dirty laundry they could on the inner workings of Full Tilt. While nothing earth-shattering was revealed by the former employees, they did answer hundreds of questions, and basically universally agreed that the company was in dire straits, and that the deal with Groupe Bernard Tapie would likely never reach fruition.
News of the lay-offs first came in September, and employees were notified over a week ago that up to 200 of the 500 employees at a Full Tilt subsidiary would be eliminated according to the Irish Times. The subsidiary company provides software, information technology, management and customer support services for Full Tilt Poker according to the article.
Full Tilt Poker has been offline since the AGCC suspended their operating license on June 29th, after the company struggled to repay players in the aftermath of Black Friday –the AGCC later revoked Full Tilt Poker’s license in September. The former employees who spoke out on 2+2 stated that they couldn’t see how the site could last past January without the deal with Groupe Bernard Tapie being finalized in the near future.
Despite most people believing the posters on 2+2 were credible, the thread has since been taken down by the site.
