The mafia needs to make sure there's no competition left, before giving legislators the order to pass a new law to regulate their new sites.

Edited By: flipxpelon562 May 24th, 2011 at 02:40 AM1 of the websites that got seized today is from the merge network..Originally Posted by mikewebb68
Link to merge shutdown? Hero posted in these forums that the won't accept NEW US accounts after 5/25, but exsiting US accounts are business as usual. Had not heard anything about the other Merge sites except the ones previously announced (Players Only, etc.).
More indictments broke out today out of Maryland. 11 bank accounts and 10 domains have been seized. The Maryland Homeland SEcurity group set up an undercover payment processing company. Most of the domains were on the Yatahay Network. Beted is on the Merge Network.

I'd bet these seizures are directly related to the recent UseMyWallet issues people have been experiencing.
Since it was the Maryland DA who came down on these sites I also wouldn't be surprised if this has something to do with the fact Washington DC now has a regulated online gaming apparatus. They were just eliminating the competition imo. -

@TheTmay @philgalfond so hard to say, reshoving a BTN open for 14bbs is a lot diff then reshoving a UTG open with 10bbs etc.

@TheTmay @sbrounder @philgalfond ya duh but if he has no fold eq its def less than 15, thus profitable.
