WE GOT PAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just received deposit from: DOJ POKER STARS (for FULL TILT funds)

The domains of the three top US-facing online poker sites were seized by the F.B.I. on 4/15/2011 (which is now being referred to as Black Friday), and the following charges are being filed against various parties associated with PokerStars, Full Tilt, and UB/AP:

1.) Violation of UIGEA

2.) Operation of Illegal Gambling Business

3.) Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud and Wire Fraud

4.) Money Laundering Conspiracy

Many online poker players are quite emotional over everything that’s happened. Facebook pages and Twitter feeds are filled with rants. Some rants are decently thought out. Other rants are on the order of “FU FBI.” In today’s internet culture, it’s really easy to say the first thing that comes to mind. However, negative one-liners aren’t going to bring about change. Times like this require coherent and logical thought.
