Statement from Howard Lederer: "I Take Full Responsibility for Full Tilt’s Failure"

One of the big questions on the minds of many lately with the World Series of Poker fast approaching is whether or not this would be the year that Howard Lederer returned to the felt to chase bracelets. On Wednesday afternoon, Lederer released a statement via Daniel Negreanu's blog at FullContactPoker.com that began "I am writing to apologize to everyone in the poker community."

In the letter, Lederer takes on more responsibility for the fallout of Full Tilt Poker that occurred once Black Friday rocked the poker world on April 15, 2011.
