Sad day for poker. How can the most 'advanced' country in the world be so behind when it comes to gambling laws.
Hint: $
Just thought of something. All this time people have been saying Lederer, Ivey, Ferguson, etc all hold significant chunks of FT ownership yet their names are nowhere to be seen on the list of names. Does this mean they were infact, not the big owners after all?

I think they're about to get a membership surge - must be a few NRA members playing poker.
might be time to buy some things in the FT store. those points wont be worth much if FT goes under

http://pokerworks.com/poker-news/2010/04/05/federal-grand-jury-investigation-full-tilt-poker.html
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began investigating Full Tilt Poker and associated persons like Chris Ferguson and Howard Lederer, looking into allegations that the site illegally serves U.S. residents and could possibly be guilty of not only violating the Wire Act but possibly money laundering charges. The Financial Times reported that FBI agents or prosecutors have spoken with at least two people involved in Full Tilt legal disputes.
Lederer and Ferguson are being represented by Los Angeles attorney Eric Jackson, who told reporter Joseph Menn that his clients had not been informed of any grand jury investigation. “We are not going to comment about a speculative grand jury investigation that we are not aware of.”
From 2plus2:
You stupid Americans knew in 2009 that it was ILLEGAL for you to play poker on these sites. You are all pissed off because you will most likely never get your money. Some may get lucky. Most of you are screwed and should be. Y
YOU BROKE THE LAW. Plain and simple. You don't deserve this money. I hope all of you lose every penny. You support these illegal sites and fill the pockets of dodgy business men. You Americans run around the world and trample over other countries, stealing resources, but when it happens to you "OH MY GOD, MY RIGHTS". LOL what about the rights of innocent iraqi children to carpet bomb for oil?
You broke the law. You will not get your money. I am so glad these obviously juiced deck sites are gone. You guys are a bunch of cheaters too. Using tracking software, hand histories, dissection hands that should not be revealed. Your all cheaters and I am so glad your OWN GOVERNMENT stole back from you.
Thank god i don't live in a garbage country like the United States of Losers.
Enjoy your play money chips losers.
lol

Has anybody been able to successfully withdraw from Stars in the past 4 hours? That's how long my request has been processing. I did receive an email stating that they'd received my request for a withdrawal to moneybookers, and that it'd be credited within 72 hours, but I have it from good sources that it doesn't usually take this long.Anyone?
I saw an email reply to someone from Pokerstars today saying that they are not offering anymore cashouts. I can't remember where I saw it though, probably @ twoplustwo.
i just received a message from Pokerstars.com saying:
nothing is wrong
use pokerstars.eu now
all usa players have been banned
Simply put,
US govt need money and without a thought on how they do this,
USING INSIDER DISGRUNTLED WORKER WHO GOT CAUGHT WITH "HIS FINGER IN THE PIE"
They make a deal to catch the bigger fish!!!! hmmmmm
So the thief is allowed to run free lol!!!
ONLY in America !!!!!
The estimation $3billion is what US Govt think they have lost out on with these poker sites lol thats funny!!!!
This as usual is all about money nothing to do with what the people want.
Players have been ok to introduce regulated sites but Govt dont have the sense to even look at this option.
Interesting few months ahead to watch out for.
