The final Full Tilt Poker Black Friday indictment has finally been settled, as Ray Bitar has pleaded guilty. He received a sentence for time served, meaning he is now a free man. The judge in the case said that keeping him in jail amounted to a "death sentence."

"I regret my actions. I know they were wrong and illegal. I am very sorry," Bitar said.

Prosecutors said nearly $300 million owed to players worldwide was missing. His lawyers have said he was helping recover money.

Although the government did not request a prison sentence for Bitar because of his health, a prosecutor noted that authorities believe he was the most culpable of 11 people charged in the case.
