Published on September 16th, 2013 3:30 pm EST

The Garden City Group ("GCG") has started sending out emails to all "potentially eligible victims of FTP's fraud", who have been identified "utilizing data supplied by FTP".

According to FullTiltPokerClaims.com, all of the emails are expected to be sent out by tomorrow (Tuesday, September 17th). On Wednesday, September 18th, people will be able to submit a Petition for Remission.

GCG is including login details with each email that will be needed to submit a Petition for Remission.

The deadline to submit a Petition for Remission is November 16th, 2013. According to GCG, any people missing this deadline will be barred from receiving any funds.

You must have deposited funds into an account with FTP.

Another point of interest - GCG will require a Social Security or other Taxpayer Identification Number in order to process the Petition for Remission. Any "qualifying debts" that are currently owed by a person to the government (outstanding taxes, etc) will be subtracted from any outstanding balances.
