FTP isn't allowing cashouts or tranfers atm. I can sit at a table, but when attempting a cashout, it says they can't establish a connection. 2p2 is also down again. wtf |

On a personal (greedy) note: games are now harder to fill but easier to beat? | |

obv he wants to calm everyone down so they don't cash out, this way he has more chances to get his millions out before :P | |

pretty sure people don't have to worry about money being confiscated, think neteller. it just might take a while. | |

Even without confiscations... If a large proportion of player pool stop playing (because they can't play anymore as per ps rules) and another percentage cash out because they don't like what's going on... this could srsly screw up day to day cashflow on the site - i mean they would lose a huge proportion of profits almost overnight. It'll just come down to how well structured the business is I would imagine, as to if it can sustain that and if so, if it can sustain it indefinately. |

There was never a major push for online poker legalization since the online poker supply never really dissipated. It may have changed hands somewhat (party poker leaving, etc) but as we all well know, you could play if you really wanted to play. | |

Ok so, I withdrew $1550 a weekish ago, via check (didn't have a bank account connected to my account on the site) from FTP. Should arrive in like a weekish. | |

You won't be able to transfer or cash out money at this point. If you read through the PDF that was linked they also seized the payment processors. | |

I said I already cashed out before this shit went down. So what will happen, will the check just be no good? Will FTP refund my account? :/ | |

Pretty ridic when you consider the things they could be spending the man power on and obvious millions of dollars it's going to cost to even take these to court, whoever decides policy should lose their job.Even ignoring the fact this is a pro poker forum. Of all the things they could pick to 'sort out in America' they choose this... |

I bet the only way the sites shut down their Europe operations (which is bigger than US) is if their commissions dump them. Which they actually could if they're viewed as operating illegally. That could be why PS dumped US so quickly. I fully expect FTP to follow soon. I kinda don't expect UB/AP to, however. |

Should others worry as well? Or is it only the US that got hit this time (again)? It's a torrent of information coming this way, and not sure what is fact or fiction. | |

For those of you wondering about the info from ESPN. It's Andrew Feldman who passed on the information he apparently got from GamblingCompliance. No word on their source that I could find. |

How are Howard Lederer and Phil Ivey not named in this legal action? Do they not have significant ownership stakes or was that all lies? | |
