Full Tilt Poker Head of Marketing Resigns Amidst Reports of “Brain Drain”

In a widely circulated email obtained by various industry personnel, Full Tilt Poker Chief Marketing executive (CMO of parent company Pocket Kings, Ltd) has resigned his post from the deadbeat company.

Quadjacks.com broke the story late Friday.

The email from Lothar Rentschler read:

“This was, after almost 3 years with the company, not an easy step… It was 3 years with many challenges and also many successes… However, given the current circumstances, I do believe it is a long overdue step towards the right direction.”

He addresses the current standing of Pocket Kings, Ltd.:

“I do apologize for the inconvenience the current circumstances at PKL have caused for you personally as well as for your respective companies. Our hands in Marketing were bound and at the end even every communication was stopped. Again, I can only apologize for this situation. The future will hopefully see a better, well organized structure and a return to business as usual. To see the brand FTP going down that way, hurts a lot.”



Mr. Rentschler’s resignation will be effective September 13th of this year – just two days before the deadline for the upcoming hearing in London between Full Tilt Poker and The Alderney Gambling Control Commission to discuss the possible restoration of the former’s license, Quadjacks.com noted.

Full Tilt Poker has gone silent since the Alderney Gambling Control Commission pulled the plug on the company June 29. Its two founders were indicted in the US on April 15 for money laundering and bank fraud. Both remain fugitives of the law with their whereabouts mostly unknown.

The last major indictment of online gambling executives who hid from the long arm of the US law occurred in July of 2006 when BetOnSports.com founder Gary Kaplan managed to elude authorities for a number of months before his capture in the Dominican Republic.

QuadJacks.com suggested possible "brain drain" as a motive for his departure, noting that at least 30 employees had already left the partent company to go work for Ireland's biggest bookmaker, PaddyPower.com.

It's not kind of news I want to hear Zab haha, I want to hear if it's going to open or not.

"Brain Drain" now that is funny. If they had brains, why would you ever allow your marketing to get you in this deep? It's like Zab making $10, and offering $50 FR everyday. Eventually he'd have problems as well if he didn't change the equation. LOL, $1000 for showing up to WSOP this year, and $11000 for next years tix, and another $1000 for showing up next year, if you placed ITM this year. Wow, and that's why your momma always said. "If it's too good to be true, it probably is..." GL all you FTP fans. As for me good riddance and GTH you shady Bast**ds.

well, another bad news for ftp players I guess...

i would to full tilt poker is done every one should quit

well it just keeps going and going.... i hope soon they send the money back

We will never get our cash back if anything the usa gov. will keep it and send everyone a tax bill

forget about fulltilt they are gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont see much ever happening from full tilt be one never knows. if it was to ever get cleaned up and running it would have to be from a giant poker room with good name already.

i liked the layout of ftp. Gutted.

Gambling should be the last thing to worry about with the government. There are so many other problems in the world and they choose to take this out of the picture? It doesn't help out much with debts and all the other problems. They should be trying to fix other world problems rather than an online hobby.

yeah but they are not worried about the other problems, they are so scared that us americans are going to get away with a couple of dollars that we did not pay taxes on.

You got that right
gov. Is a bunch of over payed lyers and greedy bastards.
Give usa back fulltilt poker you bastards

Well, I don´t think that there is a way back in this matter

yes true the only reason they took poker was no income for the GOV. there are so many waays they could use this to help the economy its scary. but in my honest opinion they like the economy the way it is so they have more control on people,

First of all Full Tilt Poker need to open or it will getting nowhere

full tilt needs to get there head out there butt and do something

is the ongoing case still same ?...a NO NO to being re introduced ??

full tilt is dead and gone just hope someone else buys the software and uses it the right way

good

full tilt got sued again

thanks for yet another update on the crap going on at FT

all poker online is the same good times and bad times :) cant win all the time some players go 100k deep and win it all back an some lose
but they r alot of of super users cant blame full tilt they all as bad as each other !

This is what I'm hoping for. They still had the best software on the market. LOL PS should buy up the software. Rush Patents, and et all. and run PS on it. LOL That's be a hoot. Cept for the VIP program, the rest would be much better. FTP academy was better than PSO too. Better $$ in PSO tho. That's my 2 cents

full tilt will not be around for awhile, good luck at the other tables

try carbon thats where most players are playing now, freat freerolls as well

Why buy it? Reverse engineer it like many of Microsoft's "orignal" ideas.
