FBI doesn't comment on alleged seizure of Neteller funds
USA Today quoted FBI agent Neil Donovan saying "funds from Neteller are being held in court as potential evidence. Some customers may get their money back." "What's in there [USA Today article] is in there, but I really cannot comment further." Neil Donovan of the FBI Public Information Office told TheOnlinewire.com today.
Agent Donovan’s new statement partially defuses the H Bomb his quote on USA Today ignited among tens of thousands of Neteller U.S. members with money frozen in their e-wallets.
Meanwhile Neteller maintains that the company holds all members’ funds (all deposited, in-transit and un-cleared funds) by holding the value in independent trust accounts.
To Neteller’s credit the company would be required to immediately disclose seizure of funds to the Financial Services Authority in the U.K. No such disclosure was reported to date.
Attempts to contact Neteller’s spokespersons have gone unanswered.
Effective January 18 Neteller no longer provides service to US members to transfer funds. Neteller discontinued to process withdrawals on behalf of its U.S. member in the 2 weeks following January 18.
On February 1 Neteller stopped offering its Peer-to-Peer service to US members, the last remaining way for U.S. customers to transfer funds out of their e-wallets.
Neteller maintains that the company holds all members’ funds (all deposited, in-transit and un-cleared funds) by holding the value in independent trust accounts.
Neteller founders Stephen Lawrence, 46, and John Lefebvre, 55, were arrested on January 15. Manhattan federal prosecutors have charged them with conspiracy to transfer funds with the intent to promote illegal gambling.
The two men, who are both from Canada, founded Neteller in 1999. Lawrence resigned as a non-executive director in October after stepping down as non-executive chairman in May. Lefebvre resigned as a non-executive director in December 2005.
The pair, who are currently out on bail, are set to fight the charges laid against them when they appear in court on February 14.

So we can't even do P2P transfers now? That's great.... that's just great.

OK, contest time: Who has the most money "frozen" in Neteller? I'm guessing it's not me. I have < $500 cash plus about $1000 in frozen EFT withdraws.

I just "attempted" to withdraw my remaining money by check. The transaction claims to have been approved, but I'll believe it when I see it.

[JDMcNugent7]

$0 froze.
i cashed out 13k to stars just hours b4 it closed cuz of an update i saw on here.

[eejit101]

i have about 2k froze, but ill get it as im in wales, if i dont, ill fucking kill em.

[Boobie Lover]

I can guarantee it is me. I'd rather not say though since it is very disheartening.

[eejit101]

interesting that i post some vital news no-one here knew, and get no thanks, whereas someone poting "unreal" gets 50 points of rep. WTG democracy

EDIT - im on codeine, it makes me an ass. Sorry

[jillaj]

unreal

[Boobie Lover]

Better news from ,

[jillaj]

I will give them lots of space when they return my money to me.

[Talking Poker]

Yeah, this is getting ridiculous. It would be different if they had given everyone a warning or a deadline, but the simply froze up. And to "Freeze" my EFT withdraws that I requested three DAYS before the shit hit the fan - that's BS.

Give me my money.

[eejit101]

couldnt agree more. I might have an update on this later i think

I have a grand total of $34 on NETeller. Fortunately, my attempt to transfer my Moneymaker winnings there was too late and NETeeler rejected the transfer from 'Stars.
