It took Chris Ferguson about seven years to issue a 42-second video apology for the Full Tilt Poker fiasco. Hopefully he wasn’t working on writing it the entire time.

Regardless of his motivations, the poker community responded harshly to his attempt at reconciliation.

This summer will mark Ferguson’s third year back at the World Series of Poker, after he took several summers off after the Full Tilt scandal.

The government said that Ferguson allocated himself $85 million in distributions for his work at the poker site, while about $160 million in U.S. player deposits went missing after the platform shut down.

Years later, money began being returned thanks to rival site PokerStars more or less bailing out Full Tilt through its own $731 million settlement with the feds.

Ferguson settled with the federal government in 2013 without admitting to any wrongdoing. He maintained that he was unaware of any wrongful activity at the company.
