Go to Full Tilt.com/UB.com/Pokerstars.com

You get the FBI seizure notice. At the very end it says:

"Properties, including domain names, used in violation of the provisions of 18 U.S.C 1955 or involved in money laundering transactions are subject to forfeiture to the United States. (18 U.S.C. §§ 981 & 1955(d))"

Properties = bank accounts = our money = now property of the U.S. Government.

EDIT: I'm sure we will eventually get this money back. But I'm just saying for now, it's property of the FBI.

lots of lying ITT

wtf is going to happen to poker, argh

ChiliPoker (iPoker) CEO is live on QuadJacksLIVE

lol

wouldn't hurt to have some actual mexican real estate too, chief. it's dirt cheap.. by the beach. you could have a beach-side house in mazatlan for under 40k usd.

US PLAYERS! Its evident that the main reason of the port security laws and the ongoing chaos right now is the inability for the government to get their hands in the pockets and wallets.This is what happens when the size of the government gets to big and they start getting to involved in our lives. With these laws were are giving up our liberties for a small bit of security (false security). We need reform to the tax codes. What we need is the fairtax! maybe many of you have not heard of this for various reasons main stream leftist media ( Obama BLOWERS) will not give this the due coverage it deserves. With the Fair tax it will do away with the irs there will be a flat tax on goods and it will not only be great for online poker it will be great for everything we are in a budget crisis! WE NEED REFORM NOW!!!! GO to http://www.fairtax.org/ for more information !!!!!

Actually meant to say several Mexican friends. I am interested in property there, but isn't hard for foreigners to buy property in that country?

This thread makes me sad I miss playing micro stakes already

This was on Full tilts UK website today:

"
Full Tilt Poker™ Supports Poker Players And Its Chief Executive
Dublin Ireland (April 15, 2011) - Full Tilt Poker is saddened by today's charges against its CEO Raymond Bitar and offers its full support to Mr. Bitar and Nelson Burtnick.

Online poker is a game of skill enjoyed by tens of millions of people in the United States and across the world. And, Full Tilt Poker remains as committed as ever to preserving the rights of those players to play the game they love online.

Mr. Bitar and Full Tilt Poker believe online poker is legal - a position also taken by some of the best legal minds in the United States. Full Tilt Poker is, and has always been committed to preserving the integrity of the game and abiding by the law.

"I am surprised and disappointed by the government's decision to bring these charges. I look forward to Mr. Burtnick's and my exoneration", said Mr. Bitar.

Unfortunately, as a result of this action, Full Tilt Poker has decided that it must suspend "real money" play in the United States until this case is resolved. However, Full Tilt Poker will continue to provide peer-to-peer online poker services outside of the United States."

sir. you forget the key fact that cash leaves no traces and you're dealing with mexico. beaurocracy can be dramatically decreased with some strategically placed incentives.

but if you're new to corruption, the paper that immigration gives you after you apply for an extension on our visa is enough for most real.estate agencies.

ZOMG!!!!!!

What should I do for my 2k poast?!?!?


* Oh snap *

For those US players still playing on ftp - don't you have good friends from outside of US who you could lose your roll HU to?

it's not like i REALLY care but coming into a thread and basically ****ting on people who just lost their livelyhoods/passion is classless and you need to gtfo. if your life is so great, why the **** are you on a poker forum rubbing it in people's faces instead of living it?!? you make no sense, please just gtfo!

"Subject to forfeiture," not "have been forfeited"

Me too!! all I do is spend $20 a month on a fun hobby!! Stupid Old ppl!!

woah woah i thought u put that ugly business of gambling all behind you? and were just here to wave your finger and say I told you so

nobody that's happy is so small and petty

wow, just wow. gtfo and go live it then!

U sir are a smart man... but should have said that a day or 2 ago!!

Still very smart man

Great idea, although the # of US players still able to play on FT who also happen to have a friend outside of the country whom they are close enough with that they can trust with their BR probably = 1 at best.

I want a hand drawn picture of the boner you got when you heard about all of this and decided to come register an account just so you could go "neener neener neener" at everyone for no good reason.

Eh same thing. They can take it whenever they want to.
