Tell me how this makes any sense at all in a rational world!
It makes no sense whatsoever in the rational world. Unfortunately for us, we are dealing with the government and the DOJ here, something very different from the rational world.

If DoJ decides to refund only the deposits, there is pretty much nothing we can do, except to petition. I would rather chill and wait for their announcement. So stop banging your heads and let the river flow.
Obviously this is just speculation, but based on what they've done in the past, it could very easily be that the amount of compensation is based on neither deposits or balance. The DOJ may very well set up a complicated and amorphous compensation petition that leaves it up to the player (and their lawyer) to cobble together a statement on what they think they are owed, and why, and attach copies of any proof that supports their petition. It will then be up to bureaucrats to decide how much they think you are entitled to, if anything. People who don't think it's worth the time, money, and effort to battle the DOJ for compensation will just give it up all together. Those who think its worthwhile will pay a lawyer and hope that they can cobble together (or have saved) all their banking for the past 5 years.
Certainly some people will get some money back, but I would estimate the chances that the majority of US players are happy with the ultimate outcome when compared with ROW players as very, very low.
