If FTP or Stars received funds from non-US customers through legal channels than it is not /discussion.

Keep believing that, it might keep you warm at night AFTER the DOJ seizes the accounts those funds are in.

Remember in "The Godfather" when they knocked out their competition in Las Vegas just before making their move and taking over? Same deal.

There's no longer any need for a blackout period. The foreign competition has been taken out. Now all that remains for the U.S. corporations to do is spread some money around D.C. to get it legalized for them.

It's just business.

Have alot on FTP (nearly 40k). I havent seen any remarks from FTP like the "don not worry, your funds are safe" that PStars has released.

Any thoughts on if players like myself are going to, at some point be able to retrieve our online $? Possibly via check or whatever...

I e-mailed support asking what they thought the best course of action would be - I don't have a ton of money on their site, and have never requested money via a wire before, but that's what I want to do.

How do I go about setting up a wire transfer?

This is a horrible event, but this had to happen to get the real legalization push. Now it will be no holds barred to legalize and regulate online poker. Which imho is good b/c the online poker status quo was crap anyway with basically nothing but nits.

There HAVE been remarks about not worrying etc. (incl. officially) But I can't see how this can guarantee anything, since they wouldn't come out and say "you're ****'d". But according to the huge majority of solid ppl, chances are looking ok...

[nightwriter]

Anyone have any thoughts as to what, if anything, might happen to individual players, especially in Washington State? Are their names going to be revealed somehow and action taken against them?

Anyone know what sites us Americans can play on?

I'm in the same boat. All we can do is hope and wait....
