Should I attempt to withdrawal or keep my money on full tilt?

How does everyone think this will effect the turn out for the wsop? Also how many pros will be pros for long with their $ being tied up?

So Payment processors are affected as well right?

I skimmed and saw small US banks and shady providers but what about the big ones like

* Click to Pay?
* MoneyBookers
* Neteller?

I just got a check from stars yesterday. Would trying to cash it at walmart be the best bet?

I'm wondering if the poker room at Aria (and other brick and mortor rooms) are about to see a huge spike in business.

You really trust the unregulated Sites to maintain adequate Cash Reserves to handle a panic fueled rush?

No on stars, you won't. US players can't play real money games.
