    Can all the people who have consistently posted on here that the poker sites are trustworthy and have no reason to cheat please make themselves known.  Ha Ha Ha!!!

     Have just tried to access FT and PS but unable to get on website, just comes up with message saying site has been taken over by authorities. Withdrew my BR from Stars 3 days ago and just hoping money appears in my bank this week. Get out now while you can if I were you.

    All the US players are sat out in the tourneys they had registered for on FT...UK are still playing fine but they may still have probs getting their money out I suppose until it has all been looked into? All US players cannot play but also can't withdraw their cash!!!

    I bet all of the people who are still allowed to play will be on a forum somewhere complaining about the number of away players !!!

    Glad the only site I play on is Sky.  Maybe now I won't keep getting emails asking me to join other poker sites.

    to be fair, the sites games seem to be above suspicion, its the fact that usa players cant play internet gaming sites in the usa and the poker sites thought they were being smart by pretending the money was for online shopping, it does mean that they owe about 3billion in taxes, so they in deep doo doo!

    I can still log into Full Tilt and Pokerstars. I read on another forum that it will take up to 24 hours to filter through the system

    I suppose my $2.50 HU Challenge match with Isildur is on ice now, as well.  He was really looking forward to that, too!!
