Admittedly, I was one of those people who told Daniel Negreanu that releasing Howard Lederer's apology statement on his blog was a bad idea.
I just couldn't see a reason why poker's most popular figure would want to be seen as endorsing one of the community's most vilified. After reading over the personal thoughts Negreanu included in the post, I feel differently now.
When Black Friday hit and it was discovered that Full Tilt Poker had not only failed to segregate player funds, but freely dispersed them among Lederer and its other shareholders, leaving players out hundreds of millions of dollars, Negreanu was one of Lederer's most vocal and public critics.
