New Irish and Maltese Companies

It has been discovered that Laurent Tapie is listed as the director of at least one of a few new companies which are each using the "Full Tilt" name.

A poster on TwoPlusTwo used solocheck.ie to learn that Tapie is the director of a company that was originally incorporated in Ireland on February 4th. The company changed its name to "NEW FULL TILT LIMITED" on April 11th. You can find additional details on this company in the original post.

Two other companies have been registered in Malta - "FULL TILT HOLDING LTD" and "NEW FULL TILT LTD." This information came from the Malta Financial Services Authority's website (which appears to be down at the time of this writing) and was also initially reported on in a TwoPlusTwo post.

Last but not least, FullTiltPoker.eu has displayed an "operational" system status and displayed 411 players online at various points over the last 2 days.

We must stress that the following screen shot does NOT mean Full Tilt is actually online or operational. It is likely that the company's servers are undergoing testing. Nonetheless, this is unlikely to be a bad thing:

As always, PokerStrategy.com will continue to report on all developments related to Full Tilt Poker.
