I think he is one of the reasons why we can't play online poker on most US states.

Can't say I am a fan after the Full Tilt fiasco. When he came back to the scene he didn't make it any better either. He put out that weird video which he then deleted since it was some sort of strange half-apology.
I know some pros have said Ferguson gets more blame than he deserves, but going off what is publicly available he and Howard Lederer have the most to answer for.

An extremely intelligent person! A great poker player!
One of the older pros, popular during the days of 'the poker boom' and one of the few from then who is still VERY competitive in today's game.
Even with Ferguson's absence from the wsop for a number of years (after Black Friday), he put on a great performance at WSOP 2016 series placing 11th in the Leaderboard.
WSOP 2017 Leaderboard - he took 1st!!!
WSOP 2018 Leaderboard - 14th
WSOP 2019 Leaderboard - 8th
fwiw jaymfc on CC 'IS' Chris Ferguson!
And... the $1 tournament on Fulltilt named 'The Ferguson' was the very first poker game/tournament of any kind I played online (in 2007) and I placed 2nd. (Chris would've placed 1st had he played that evening)

If he paid back all the people he scammed, he might be a decent person?
I think people need to look at the reality of what happened instead of arm chair quarterback statements based on opinion. The dude took advantage of people and walked away with millions of poker players dollars through a 'Ponzi' scheme...if you cannot be honest on a forum, there is zero hope for humanity lol
We all look at the people at FT as sort of "what not to let happen again" but as you can see, the damage was so bad, it has taken well over 10 years to try and make a comeback through some kind of regulation of online poker, and even now, it is barely happening.
He is a criminal that somehow got away with robbing millions from honest people.
They all were criminals at FT. He is just one of many.

Didn't Phil Ivey quit before all this?
Good people don't have greed. I don't understand: Oh, it's not people taking money it is greed.Most people are good until their greed gets in the way, for some it is never enough!

My biggest problem with him is he walks around trying to look like Jay
I'm surprised Jay hasn't filed a lawsuit tbh. Black Fridays matter!

I think he is a good man too. He is passionated about the game and he really has done so much for poker. Now we don't know if he is really that good person we thought of him to be.
