This whole thing is a big grey area legally. You act like the the UIGEA has always been into effect. The poker boom started before 2006 guys. Just because the half the government wants to enforce their morality on others and the other half wants their piece of the action, and because of this chose to implement new laws forcing this "shadyness" doesn't change right and wrong.
I guess shadyness is the wrong word. I guess uncertainty is a better description. Although in the end, most people were able to deposit/withdraw, there were many loopholes/red tape/frustrations. Plus through reading these forums, we've heard of stories of people not being able to cash out. Something wasn't 100% right. Or not close enough to where it wasn't a risk.
And also, +1 to Seth. I hope those who were successful are able to realize they've picked up skills that will likely translate in education or the job market.
