There you go.

Politicians will *** you over.

Why did you give them so much power?

You dont even know you did it.

This is just total bs from our gov. I'm tired of them interfering in our liberties and freedom.

Although I doubt this case will ever get that far, I fear the day when something does set that off.
They already think they have jurisdiction to seize domain names of foreign companies. Hell, Kentucky thinks they have jurisdiction to do the same.

I really strongly believe your jurisdiction ends at your borders. I have no idea how to get my government to agree.

We both just missed cashing.

Making 30$/hour while he still can. Think he will regret not grinding that out for more hours.

How close are you to Georgia? If you can make it to the border, you might be able to log on from there.

Haha. I've seen many useless posts in this thread, and a total disrespect for how you should write in a discussion forum (perhaps I'm spoiled by the Swedish freedom of expression forum flashback.org), but this one actually made me laugh.

asking during uk game while matusow is wasted he laughs about full tilt not paying his buyin that they called... then asked about cashouts he says "i hope so"

more stunningly pointless updates about a drunk cokehead coming...

From Todd Terry's tweet
Quote:
Never has the ratio of people expressing opinions to people who know what they're talking about been so high in the poker world.
Todd Fkn Terry wins thread as usual....

On a personal note:

To the fellow grinders on the US, sorry guys this situation blows and being suddenly unemployed sucks ass but we all knew the status quo was not sustainable for long. Hope you all get your money soon and the US figure out legislation stuff so you can rejoin the online poker world in a well regulated environment.

To everyone freaking out outside US, things will be rocky for a bit, that IS TO BE EXPECTED, sites are having to deal with a shtload of stuff right now and you don't help by mass withdrawing out of fear that your funds will be stolen or madly emailing support to ask for the future of the site etc...

Also don't expect to find some miracle answer from others ITT about how should you cash out or if its the best idea, chill out, things will get better hopefully and even if they didn't panicking wont solve a thing.

Anyone have the rest of the Civil Complaint? Ends at page 34 for me.

There is some very interesting stuff in here. I'm very optimistic about the part starting on page 33. It basically says that they had someone cooperating with Law Enforcement go in and deposit and withdrawal money from all of the poker sites. This is good news for the players, and their money IMO, as it shows how easy it was for Americans to do this.

Wish I could read the rest of it.

Sure they are not but I have more faith in either of them than say a random guy online talking about how their tweets are not binding.
