I haven't emailed FTP, but this morning I received this email:

Yup, that's pretty much what everyone is getting I think. Here's what I got in direct response to my inquiry about withdrawing my funds (which I got at the same time):

Nice. Thanks Full Tilt. Awesome. Also, notice the way they said "due to recent actions by the U.S. government" ... as if to suggest they are in noooo way accountable for any of this. I'm not suggesting that the US/DoJ/FBI was my any means in the right, but it just kind of pisses me off to hear them subtly suggest they only have our best intentions at heart. Uuggh. Whatever. Just cut me a check & let's be done with it.
