I can just imagine Phil Helmuth right now. lol
Or unless it's run by the government. Just like Playnow.com (run by BC Lotto)
PokerStars & UB are seized but at the moment FullTilt is still up (maybe got an extension?).
fulltilt poker is down here. It says owned by the united states attorney. Also I tried to play on pokerstars and it rejected me.
Writer Available 2 cents per word - Any niche!
FullTilt is still up here in Cali.
The .net is still up but the .com has been seized. Maybe different registrars?

A fella from fulltilt poker told me they're cranking millions. He didn't say it was billions
No surprise here.
good case to get lawyered up and prove the US gov has NO POWER over the net
now if they did it right in the first place they would be bullet proof
caymans corp that's legit
you become your OWN BANK
you use a caymans bank to collect wires and give an account funds, you accept monies all day legitimately by international check or wire in caymans
you issue checks daily or weekly to players that want to cash out from a neutral source NOT A USA BANK
you drop any connection to a US based bank or registrar
that would be a legit bullet proof gambling entity
IMO
but their defense is, USA gave away authority over the net to icann by the wipo treaty
if you read the stuff that's the loophole
so they need
a. major domain lawyer
b. a treaty lawyer
c. a great criminal lawyer
they can beat it
will they?
probably not they were dummies to bring the money into US banks
you keep that stuff in caymans IMO
no extradiction treaty with caymans
it's the last place you can do this type of stuff legitimately
Interesting stuff. I wonder how a lawyer would analyze it.
they'd say if the money came into USA banks
cut a deal
you're doing a piece of work
Russia and Romania are pretty safe too. Neither has an extradition treaty with the US.Originally Posted by adonivideo
Don't consider this to be legal advice, just results of my personal research.

I only recently (a week ago?) joined fulltilt... I tried opening it just now and it did not let me proceed as there was "new software available".
I'm scared to download it, as it could be a tracking software of some sort from the US government if they had seized the poker site in such a way that they would have control over what gets downloaded.
Premium LLLL .com for sale - N::B::F::A - click here to see thread!
Women lie. Men lie. Numbers don't lie.
Email is the best way to get a hold of me - maxwell [] maxwell.me
Now it looks like all fulltilt poker sites except uk.co are taken by fbi.
uk.co went FREE. And now we all can play for freeeee!
PS is now www.pokerstars.eu and FT is now www.fulltiltpoker.co.uk
Not sure on this specific case but the way they usually set it up is the .com is the money site/where you go to gamble and they setup the .net to play for free. If you ever watch those poker shows on TV like ESPN, they're always advertising the .net. (in hopes you'll eventually move on over to the .com)
Looks liek they set up phony on-line merchants to process US payments...
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle1990602/It’s alleged PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker leaned on intermediaries. “Phony online flower shops and pet supply stores” were established to take in poker money, according to a new U.S. indictment. Some of the alleged fronts used names like mygolflocations.com and bicyclebigshop.com
Both domains are currently available for registration
Well if the Feds are cracking down on gambling, they ought to shut down all the big banks
that caused the economy to crash and burn.
