Full Tilt Poker’s Howard Lederer Unfazed by Investigation

During a charity poker tournament in Washington, D.C. last week, Full Tilt Poker's Howard Lederer maintained his poker face in light of a rumored investigation into the world's number two largest online poker room.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Such an association, regardless of how fuzzy, would tend to make most folks nervous, but Lederer - known as "The Professor" for his cerebral approach to card-playing - was relaxed, smiling and posing for photos with fans at the Hyatt Regency in D.C.

"I can't comment on something that I don't even know exists," Lederer said of the grand jury whispers.

Gambling911.com has been working to try and gather more information on any Full Tilt Poker connection to the Grand Jury investigation.  Gambling911.com's parent company, Costigan Media, last year was awarded privilege of information by Federal Judge Laura Taylor Swain pertaining to an already known case naming Full Tilt's payment processors.  One processor has since been indicted.  Another appears to have been this past week as notorious professing mogul Daniel Tzvetkoff was arrested while in Vegas this past week.  He is believed to have worked with Full Tilt and a number of its competitors before allegedly stiffing most of them. 

Costigan Media is still represented by Baruch Weiss, who recently joined the law firm of Arnold & Porter as a partner in the white collar criminal defense practice.   He is presently digging for information.
