I just got approved by stars for a check to be sent. We shall see what happens.

Money is in my stars account and I can access but am blocked when I try to go to a cash or tourney game.

I tried to transfer money on stars and got, "We are sorry but, due to government regulation, transfers of funds are not allowed in your area."

I don't know what this means for non-Americans.
Is it time for everybody to try to get as much money offline as possible ?

.. but <3 Galfond already trying to pawn his slide. lol

Edit ..
OKay reading for like 5 minutes and I think everybody is going to get ****ed by good ol' USA "capitalism". Where the Government decided to destroy the market to rebuild where them and their friends get their share without a fight.

We ****ed.

sounds about right

Think I can grind out a living playing 1/2 + 2/5nl and up to 15/30 limit without blowing my brains out?

I requested an FTP check and FTP bank transfer an hour ago and both processed just fine. Is there a way for me to cash out my whole roll in one swift blow? Otherwise I am limited to 3x$2500 per week bank transfers and something similar in check requests.

The only way US players can withdraw is now by transferring to UK players. Is this true? I do not know any people that can do this for me, and I have about 8k online right now.

I am a poker pro, and only have 500 in my checking account. I really need to get my money out because I will have no way of affording my bills next month.

I've been playing on PS lately here in California until being disallowed today. Thinking about moving a small sum into FT and hope everything works... Sheesh.

Their accounts around the world have been hit with restraining orders. Banks comply or lose access to the US financial system. If you are a non-US player that gets hurt by this, please bitch to your representatives about what ******s the US have become and encourage retailiatory action wherever possible.
