Disgraced online poker firm Full Tilt Poker has laid off its remaining staff of 180 employees in Dublin, Ireland. The company had its license officially revoked last month following a series of US indictments.

A handful of poker pros/shareholders in the company, including Howard Lederer and Chris Ferguson, are accused by the US Government of perpetrating an elaborate ponzi scheme.

US Customers of Full Tilt Poker have yet to be paid since April 15 while those worldwide have not received payouts since late June.

The terminations occurred at FTP’s Pocket Kings branch, which provides information technology and software along with customer service, the later of which has been practically nonexistent over these last six months.
