Dayanim Behn said in declaration to PokerStrategy:
"The GBT is not to acquire assets that must later be the subject of dispute. In total, the amount due the company is between $ 10 and $ 20 million. Among the many players who owe money and still have not shown willingness to pay their debts are Phil Ivey, Layne Flack, David Benyamine and Erick Lindgren. Barry Greenstein, Mike Matusow and others, should a smaller amount, but still significant. If money does not come in, creates a serious obstacle to the completion of business. This is not the only problem with the acquisition, and business will not end because of a single problem, but this is an important topic. "
