Full Tilt hit with another lawsuit

[The Buzz]

Full Tilt's legal woes continued over the weekend after the card room was hit with its third separate lawsuit in the last year. The room is already facing lawsuits from former pro Clonie Gowen and former employee Jason “JDN” Newitt. This time its the suit comes from a customer.

According to Poker News Daily, poker player Lary “pokergirl z” Kennedy and former Full Tilt customer Greg Omotoy filed a complaint alleging fraud, libel, slander, false advertising, and racketeering against the popular online poker room. The lawsuit claims that Full Tilt Poker confiscated more than $80,000 spread across the two players’ accounts because the site believed they were using bots.

In addition to seeking restitution and damages in relation to the confiscated funds, the lawsuit accuses the site of a number of other crimes and makes insinuations about the inner workings of its management team. The suit is filed against the companies Full Tilt Poker and Tiltware as well as several individual members of Team Full Tilt. The list of individuals named in the claim includes Howard Lederer, Raymond Bitar, Phil Gordon, Chris Ferguson, Andy Bloch, Perry Friedman, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, John Juanda, Gus Hansen, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, and Allen Cunningham.

The lawsuit also claims that Ferguson and Bloch (graduates of UCLA and MIT) of creating bots to populate slow cash game tables on the site and increase the profits of the company.

That might be difficult to prove.

Naturally I can't vouch for the accuracy of anyone else's story on this topic, but this is our version, which comes directly from the law suit itself and is thus totally 'watertight':

Laugh at how this sh!t hot poker player has had to pose as a girl on site (pokergirl) and now is resorting to using bots.

Lary Kennedy - lets just face it - you can't play poker !
(and you'll lose this lawsuit too)

I play FullTilt quite a bit and have a hard time believing that bots are too prevalent. Personally I would like to face predictable bots rather than some of the crazies that show up. Some players play like they are robots and those are the easiest to beat.

The members in my forum over at PN brought this up recently. Pretty convenient that this person was caught multi-accounting, had 80K confiscated, and then suddenly has a concern over bots on the site?

If they weren't caught multi-accounting do they no longer have a problem with alleged bots run by FTP?
