Full Tilt Poker stakeholder and professional player Chris Ferguson filed motions with the US Southern District of New York Court on Tuesday requesting to bring on board an out-of-state attorney, Ian J. Imrich. 

Some of those motions filed lay claim to funds seized as part of a massive probe into Full Tilt Poker and two company executives, both of whom were indicted on April 15.  Charges included money laundering and bank fraud.

Full Tilt Poker ceased operating on June 30 after its licensing arm pulled the plug on what had been the world’s second largest online poker room.  Full Tilt Poker has yet to pay back players.

Ferguson himself was accused by the US Justice Department of taking part in a massive ponzi scheme.
