It seems absolutely preposterous that the DOJ would try to refund only what ppl had actually deposited with credit cards etc. No way imo.
Agreed and have long agreed. But Nathan Vardi and John Pappas seem to be giving it credibility. With $150 million on the line, I don't think it hurts for everyone to contact them and let them know how absurd it would be.
"John Pappas, executive director of the Poker Players Alliance, the Washington D.C. lobbying group, said it would be “ludicrous” for the government to not pay U.S. players what they had on deposit at Full Tilt and said his group will “play a role in the process.”
"Pappas also said it could be a logistical nightmare for the U.S. government to figure out how much players deposited on Full Tilt instead of just paying back what they had on deposit in April of 2011. There is still a lot riding on what finally gets decided in Washington."

Either $0 or $1000. Seems so unlikely they could even contemplate doing this, but contact them just to make sure.
