I am curious who owns some of the bigger poker sites, primarily Pokerstars, Ultimate Bet and Party Poker. We never hear about the people or companies behind these sites. Possibly the founders/owners live in the U.S. and wish to remain discreet.There must some interesting stories about fortunes made and lost. I also wonder if the owners are names we might recognize from the poker world. Also are the founders still the owners?I have the idea that a major gaming company (Iglobal maybe?) owns Party, but I have no idea about Pokerstars or UB.If anyone knows please tell.Thanks,KennyBanya
