Why would it be bad for pokerstars to be owning FTP?
This in effect is the best possible outcome, much better than any other company. Pokerstars are trusted and the only site that I think most trust with their funds, especially since post black friday.
People are much more likely to flood back to FTP if pokerstars do own it, anyone else and I bet the player pool would be much less.
Win/win for pokerstars and win/win for poker players too.
There are plenty of legit companies that could take it over, with just as much security. Party/Paddy power/Ladbrooks off the top of my head.
Look, short term this is great news, long term its a little more bleak, but who knows, maybe things will be great. Legal online poker in the US with no deposit/withdrawal restrictions would be simply awesome for anyone that takes poker in any way seriously.
