Re: fulltiltpoker.com & pokerstars.com domain names confiscated by FBI

They'll have to get a non-US controlled TLD. Horrible news for marketing etc. Has any company ever gotten their domain back once it was seized by the US government?

Interesting that Howard Lederer was/is on tour with the USO entertaining the American military yet the FBI decides to seize his company's domain?

This has to be a hoax. The pages have been replaced by a JPEG (banner7.jpg). I would think that the FBI would use something a little better than a scanned picture

US government taking a piss here IMO. Internet is international, .com domains are not .us.

Sure, seize .us if online poker is illegal in US but show some respect to the rest of the world and don't touch domains that are generally used as cross-nation.

Re: fulltiltpoker.com & pokerstars.com domain names confiscated by FBI

Hmmm, this is VERY TRUE!!!!

Full tilt works for now

UB does not work-FBI notice

PS is working for now



On UB it is not a copy and paste picture. It is the real thing!
