So im guessing its only the US players that have any problems with cashouts?

was a homie

You're not getting that money any time soon my man, American or not. I'm afraid were all in this together.

US players cant cashout regardless of what the sites client is telling you, read the indictment they named and seizes all the processor accounts.

Yeah, says the guy who got basically thrown out of the LHE forums for constantly spamming threads ranting on about how sick superunlucky he is, tilting at other posters nonstop, and being a massive douche in general that NOBODY in those forums liked. You did this, like, every ****ing day. Clearly only the socially well-adjusted do this.

Worried about finding a job? Does live poker not exist any more either? Will Americans never be able to play online poker again? Fwiw, I can't be all that mad, as I'm always going to be able to make more money than you.

haha, you are such a ridiculous busto fish

Constructive Receipt. AFAIK, you actually have to be able to request & get the $$ for it to be considered income.

Isn't withdrawing funds now a really STUPID idea? If the FBI has control of all of those accounts, people aren't really doing themselves any favors by making themselves visible.

I'm playing stakes I never played before right now with my monopoly money on Tilt. It's not much of a rush.

Wachovia only got a fine and no one got prosecuted when they recently got caught laundering billions of dollars worth of drug money. Gotta love it

Any point in going to protest outside the US Attorneys office in manhattan on monday?
