I think they said they were part of a network. I assumed the software was not newly developed.
My paypal concern is not that the FBI is going to swarm a guy playing 5/10 cent poker using a paypal account, rather that Paypal eventually discontinues their ability to use them as a processor for payments. Indeed adding Bitcoin would give them a lot more gravitas in that regard. Paypal by itself (with the sketcy quasi-approval we have seen so far) is a definite risk, not that this site intends to steal money like Lock Poker, rather that they have no way to pay people if Paypal removes their processing ability. Only one basket for those eggs so far.
The 2 dudes in a basement is more a characterization. Sometimes it is 3 or 4 dudes...
