Jeepers, I gotta go process my Poker Stars witdraw, at least until this blows over. I may not be an american but I don't want to lose the paultry some I've earned if these guys go under.
Thanks for the heads up. I still can't believe it.

i think this is ridiculous. i feel sorry for u guys the F.B.I pffft bunch of a$$holes. loooks like a lot of pros wont have anymore succsess online. all great pros lost there accounts 2
Found the article and it appears legit. Now, I wonder if the Gov is flexing its muscle just because they can. The letter of the Law is on their side at the moment. If legislation is about to be passed in favor of online poker,then, this is clearly a challange. The Laws must be modified and won't go down without a fight. If I were involved in this, I'd be bending a polititions ear.

This looks serious. The biggest remaining rooms will be out of business for players from the US. But all those companys have operated in a grey area anyway. So i hope for a solution that allows online poker without needing to go to some tribes land or tiny south see islands.

I don´t get it. How come i can still open up Fulltilt.com, Pokerstars.com? don´t see any "EU" domains, all seem completely normal. No mail from PS either.
Should us europeans worry about our Bankroll or not? Really ?!

just tried to get on the homepage of Fulltilt and it is not working anymore. This warning by FBI applies on FullTilt.com. Update of the software fails permanently...
