Within minutes of the Department of Justice announcing the deal, Full Tilt Poker commented in a press release obtained by Poker News Daily, “As a result of the recent enforcement action, there exists no authorized U.S. payment channel through which to make refunds; Full Tilt Poker has no accounting of the millions of dollars of player funds that were seized by the government; and the government has not agreed to permit any of the seized player funds to be returned to the players.” - Poker News Daily How ridiculous is this? DOJ: Go ahead and give players back their money FTP: What? How? Wasn't that what we got in trouble for??? And by the way, are you going to stop seizing our accounts then?

" So the US government is allowing a non-US business to continue doing business with non-US customers. Isn't that nice of them.

Wouldn't be the first time that the US government has interfered in affairs outside the US, so I guess we should be thankful that they've chosen not to do so now Anyway, I hope that everybody gets their money back in a timely fashion, I had a nervous enough wait to get mine out (hit this morning) and I'm not in the US.

Yes, and that shit needs to stop. The events in Team America World Police seem to be true, after all.
