Chris Ferguson has finally broken his seven-year silence and issued an apology for his role in the Full Tilt Poker scandal. In a 42-second video statement, Ferguson addressed the poker community, expressing his regret for not being able to prevent Black Friday.

Ferguson stated, "I deeply regret not being able to prevent Black Friday from happening. After Black Friday I worked relentlessly to ensure all players got paid back, and I sincerely apologize it took as long as it did." He also acknowledged the delay in his public statement, saying, "I also realise that it has taken me a long time to make any sort of public statement, and I appreciate my fans and the poker community as a whole for their patience and support."

The Full Tilt Poker scandal, considered one of the darkest hours in poker history, involved the disappearance of $440 million of player funds. Ferguson, along with Howard Lederer and Ray Bitar, were the main figures in the scandal.
