Do Jennifer Harman, Layne Flack, David Benyamine, Ted Forrest, Todd Brunson own a piece of this new company?
Hello Ghostshark, I understand your reservations about Full Tilt. The majority of our members that were NOT a part of that organization were also badly burned by Full Tilt, so the concerns you have are valid. However, the players you mentioned are some of the most honorable poker players in the business (not the same as well-liked ). However, marketing agents are not part of business decisions. Was it a poor business decision by them to be associated with FT? In hindsight you may say so, but at the time, every top pro in the business was signed to contracts by poker sites all over the world. The execs that run the place happened to be of low character.
We have over 40 members/investors in this project. We are not revealing confidential company information on a public forum. If you look at the top executives in Breakout, you will see, almost all of them have been in business with high-profile companies. I do understand that you have reservations and all I can say is give us a chance and we will bring out exciting products and offer opportunities for the entire community. If you are un-willing, we certainly understand, there are a bevy of other sites you can play online games.
FYI, just because you own a share of a company, doesn't mean you have operational control. All of the shareholders of FT, got badly burned. They are VICTIMS, not accomplices. Misguided anger is not the answer. The marketing agents on our team all had initial reservations about joining another team because of that fiasco, but we were able to persuade them to give it another shot based on the potential of cryptocurrencies and gaming.
This group of players are only the "initial" marketing agents. From now until and through the launch of our products, we will be taking applications from a younger and more diverse social media friendly players. We will also be sponsoring eSports video game pros, fantasy sports pros and currently we are also looking into professional sports athletes. Please contact us directly if you are interested in becoming a Brand Ambassador.
