Just catching up on the latest developments. I'm based in the UK and cannot download the Full Tilt update. Is there a fix for this?

President OBAMA just put his name into the hat for re-election in 2012. There is no way in hell that he would risk his political future by standing in the way of the out-of-control DOJ.

This is the DOJ that is above the law and constitutional restraint. This DOJ ignores WTO and World Trade rulings that poker is legal. OBAMA would not escape unscathed if he chooses to challenge this DOJ.

That is what is even more bewildering, if i am following laws in my own country who is to say that the US government can take my ****ing money?

If the US Government gets the fines and money they are after it will come from the assets of FT & PS and those assets including player accounts which are part of general funds.

Lesson to all, a Government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.

considering this thread managed more page views in 24 hours than Doug Lee toolbox, I guess this is pretty serious

FT and PS's assets don't include the player accounts and they aren't part of the general funds - apart from that I think you're right.

Doesn't matter to me though since I will be not be withdrawing at this point. Personally, I think the money is safer on site than in processor "black hole".

I'm a US player in Calif, and I was able to get to the cashier by uninstalling my Pokerstars software and downloading the www.pokerstars.co.uk software from that site. After installing it, I could access my cashier and I was able to transfer money into my checking account here. I received the confirmation email a couple hours later than usual, probably due to all the requests.

I agree. This word is inconsiderate and others can be used.

this was way before daniel called his sister a slore.

I feel sorry for anyone who has a decent grip stuck in the elevator. Im very upset about this and im mad as rabid cat right now..poker players dont deserve this crap. we should be prized above farmers and nurses. they stack up blankets. we stack chips. They drive trolleys we drive whips and ships if you fly like ivey.

keep grind on the mind guys. they cant hold us down under our own jurisdiction we gotta fight back somehow. we need someone like doyle to help us. hes been in the game for 300 odd years knew bill hickock and he should be the face of our campaign. no **** my fat girlfriend looks like his son todd.

keep grind on the mind.

long live the king

The goal of the proponents of UIGEA was to make it near impossible to play. Now we are looking at the real possibility of their christian america becoming reality with online poker.
