    This isn't bad news. The US DoJ can't freeze a foreign bank account. It will make your check more likely to be good.

    ^^ True. My last check from pokerstars was written on a UK bank check. No problems. Cleared in 2 days.

    Wells Fargo/Pokerstars/UK bank FTW!!

    Canadian banks are looked upon more favorably by some U.S. banks, so this is good news for many.

    This is good news. My check cleared in <2 days and I'm in Connecticut.

    One of the checks I got recently was from a processor somewhere in the US... I wasn't happy at all to see that. I have no clue why stars would gamble with processors in the US when they can just as easily use Canadian banks (although I suppose they have their reasons).

    Your bank has rules. There are also federal and state rules. They are maxing you out, I guess.

    They won't be coming from there for long if you keep talking about it on a PUBLIC FORUM.

    I don't know if that's true. Seriously, how hard is it to track pokerstars users? We were all getting checks from that frozen processor, and now the same people are getting new checks from specific banks. Is it that hard to put two and two together?

    gl with that theory. Most recent example is the Swiss bank accounts where the bank now has to report it's customers that are likely evading taxes. And yea. We're America, fuck yeah! Team America - World Police. That's the mentality.
