In the US, the so called Patriot act (Orwellian doublespeak) essentially takes away just about any real privacy we had.

and let's not forget that the law that made online gambling illegal was quietly attached to a must-pass port security bill in the middle of the night on the last day before congress adjourned for the session...

There were a few years there where I actually forgot how much I despise much of what my own country really stands for... Greed, and ignorance... but now i just got a nice re-wakeup call. ( yes, there are still some great things about America, but most of that is either history, or scenery.)

Lol ! where do you get your "facts" from? The United States won't miss you. Bye Bye... I assume you're moving... since you hate it there soooo much. Stop your sniveling, you spoiled brat. There are people in other parts of the world with REAL problems. Like life or death. And you're seriously sitting here whining about how bad your country is, because you're unable to play on-line poker right now...... SHUT UP!!!! You're such a DB... seriously

yeah those regs and inspections are vice like

Yes guys, get used to it - you live in a fashist country with a matching president.

You might be laughing now, you will definitely not 1-2 years down the road.

- Bankbailouts
- Austerity measures
- Tax Breakes for the wealthiest fraction of the population
- corruption everywhere

But don't be bothered. Continue ignoring the things unfolding in front of your eyes.

Every Country has their own version of Limiting Personal Freedoms. I'd argue that most, if not all, are worse than the US. I mean in Canada if you don't hold the handrail on an escalator you can get hit for a $400 ticket.

Nonsense.

The Wachovia situation was due to faulty Controls and Policies that didn't effectively flag certain transactions at a Bank that they'd acquired during the Banking Crisis. This is very different from outright provable Fraud. The On Line Gaming providers set out on a scheme to bypass Federal Laws. The Wachovia case is similar to the requirement that Branches catch Structured Transactions.

not much new to add but i got a response from stars support

Hello,

Thank you for your email.

We apologize for the delay in responding to your email.

Although you will be able to cash out via the PokerStars Cashier as per
normal, we are unfortunately unable to immediately process cashout requests
for US players as a result of the legal developments in the United States.
We are making it a priority to work with the relevant authorities to secure
the return of funds as soon as possible. We will promptly provide you with
additional information as soon as it becomes available.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your
patience.

Regards,

Stian
PokerStars Support Team
