Apparently, the sky just fell...

Is "forever" a long time to you? I wouldn't plan on seeing any $$$ if you have it on these sites.

Just clearing my points today and theres still 90k players on tilt and 180k on stars.

Tried to register for the $10 HORSE on 'Stars. Got a message saying you can't play real money tourneys from my location.

However, I can play cash games on 'Tilt

I would be pretty surprised if this were the case, TBH. I don't think stealing billions of dollars for U.S. citizens would be a very smart move for the DOJ.

I'm thinking it will be tied up for a long time and then paid out, kind of like the Neteller situation.

Of course, for those of us with a lot of cash staked out, recouping that money is going to be a lot more difficult. ie, if a check gets mailed to Horse X, and it's his only money in the world and he has no poker job any more, I think it's going to be mighty tempting for him to keep the money than to write me a check and mail it to me.

Hopefully everything works out for the best. It's kind of out of our control right now, so I'm trying not to beat myself up about it too much.

hey though, it is bring out the traffic to this site, with 2+2 being down and all.......

[Talking Poker]

Wow.. so much for all that "progress" from last month:

[Windbreaker]

I wonder if Stars will allow you to play out of the country. If you could....then you could just take a trip to Canada/Mexico and grind out enough to get your next milestone+fpp bonus.

Yeah, I was wondering about this myself...

The rumors are just flying around right now like mad - don't really know what to believe.

I converted all my FT Iron Man medals to tourney tickets (almost $4k worth), thinking it is more likely those will get paid out (if anything does) than the medals themselves. Other than that though, I'm not sure what all can be done on an individual basis, other than contacting Congressmen and pushing for legalized/regulated online poker, obv.

They targeted only the biggest sites. Do you think sites like Cake Poker will see an increase in traffic and they will accomodate or will they puss out?
