Poker pro Daniel Negreanu is now producing his own video blogs and providing terrific content for sites like Gambling911.com. 

Negreanu’s latest Vlog talks fellow poker pro Jason Somerville’s decision to come out of the closet and he’s also come out himself swinging against the folks behind Full Tilt Poker including the likes of Raymond Bitar and Howard Lederer.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock this past year, Bitar and another executive from Full Tilt Poker were charged with money laundering and bank fraud last April.  The company was subsequently shut down over the summer and has not paid customers since (US-based customers are waiting nearly a year for payment).  The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York later called Full Tilt Poker a “ponzi scheme”.
