    Never read any stickies or announcements
    I'm not even sure transfers would be a good idea right now anyway.

    My non-expert, non-lawerly advice: Avoid all cashouts and transfers right now. I would be shocked if the payment processors worked in the immediate future. Money on the sites is effectively useless for the forseeable future.

    If the feds/irs/whoever bring down my fave site I'm gonna be pissed.

    What are the chances of this seriously? Can the US govt. sue for billions? Would they want to? e.g. harming future revenue if they get their way?

    The sites are fucked. These fucking retards actually went and did actual bank fraud that could get them in real trouble. Everybody indicted will either take a plea agreement, or tell the FBI to fuck off and never enter US ever.

    PS already left US, FTP will soon, UB/AP might. There is some hope for Cereus since leaving US would practically crush their business; they could become smaller than Cake or something if they left US, yet PS and FTP will still be the two largest with Euro alone

    My understanding was that execs had been arrested and whilst
    I know all the money is registered in off-shore accounts/businesses - I just wondered what effect this would have on the long term life of Stars, regardless of US etc.
