This! Anyone who has any knowledge of the cashout problems on UB, FTP and the myriad of other rooms that have had financial problems, yet still made a deposit on Lock Poker is a idiot. You have no one to point fingers at but yourself. Once bitten, hell 10 times bitten...
Lock Pros can certainly be viewed as shady BUT IMO ONLY when it comes to those new or recreational players that are 100% oblivious to the issues surrounding online poker in the US. The Lock Pros have to sleep at night for doing it, but these morally void people can always somehow justify it by convincing themselves that players 'know the risks'.
The fact is that virtually all poker players posting/reading on 2+2 knew the chances of these withdrawal problems occurring YET AGAIN, were EXTREMELY high based on current US law, the extreme difficulty of an offshore site operating in the US, and basic history.
You'd be better off playing the shell game on the Las Vegas Strip than depositing on an unregulated site. At least in that scenario you can attempt to physically beat the money out of the person that scams you.
