Irate over poker pro Chris Ferguson refusing to comment on the 2011 ponzi scheme he was tied to involving Full Tilt Poker, fellow pro Daniel Negreanu unleashed on him this weekend. Ferguson made his first public appearance in five years at this summer’s World Series of Poker.
"I am a very forgiving person, but usually you have to ask for forgiveness before you can get it," Daniel Negreanu told PokerNews. "Clearly he doesn't give a shit, responding with 'What are you talking about?' when people said he owed the poker world an apology.
"Let me explain it to you Chris: You were part of a company, a very prominent part, asking people to trust you and the company. You made millions and millions of dollars off of this company, then you hid for five years when things got out of shape. Then you said nothing at all. Whether you're guilty or not, you've said nothing, which makes you guilty. If you don't feel like you're guilty, say so. Say something. You asked for the players to trust in you, don't you believe they're owed some kind of apology? Any man with a shred of integrity or human decency would understand an apology is owed."
Ferguson along with three other individuals were alleged to have defrauded poker players out of more than $440 million over a four year period as part of a scheme tied to what had been the world’s second largest online poker room, Full Tilt Poker.
