Getting the FTP message here in the UK. Currently playing 3 tourneys without problem. However it won't let me register for the UK Freeroll which requires going via the website.

If the piece at uk.reuters.com is for real I dont see how it can be a wind-up

I would not withdraw. Payment processors won't be able to help you.

If there's someone you trust abroad, I'd transfer funds to that person asafp and have them send you a check once they get paid. No one in the U.S. is gonna get paid for a looooong time.

no one knows man, but if withdrawls were going to be a big problem, you are likely too late already

It had the exact same message as this one. And several online news outlets reported it indeed was taken over by the feds.
