Full Tilt Agrees to Transfer Assets to Groupe Bernard Tapie


Out with the old...

According to Subject:Poker, Full Tilt Poker shareholders have agreed to transfer the company’s assets to Groupe Bernard Tapie.

Now that the asset transfer has been agreed upon, GBT can move ahead with its agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. From here, Full Tilt assets (via the DoJ) are moved to GBT, and GBT gets one step closer to opening the virtual doors at Tilt again.
