FTP Players to Be Paid in New Year?

This week's statement from The United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York informed interested parties that the Department of Justice (DoJ) is currently evaluating applicants for the position of Claims Administrator, who will be in charge of managing U.S. Full Tilt Player claims for funds amounting to around $184 million. This may be light at the end of the tunnel for US players, who were informed that the recruitment process is expected to be finalized and work to begin in January 2013, which should leave room for hope that at least some of them will get their monies back during the year. Still, the DoJ provided no additional information on timelines or expected processes.
