    Feds seize more bank accounts tied to online gaming

    The United States government continues to find ways to screw over poker players looking to move money to and from online rooms. This time, according to documents filed in the U.S. District Court in Maryland, the feds have stepped in and seized another six bank accounts that they say are linked to money laundering and online gambling.

    An article in the Baltimore City Paper speculates that the accounts are tied to online poker and gambling firm Bodog. The six accounts at Wachovia Bank are all owned by Forshay Enterprises, Inc., a company which in turn owns TransactSvc.com, whose “network of product and service affiliates provide TransactSvc.com with a worldwide presence encompassing business services, internet consulting services and consumer product lines allowing us to compete in the global e-commerce world.” In plain English, TransactSvc.com was a payment processor like UIGEA scapegoat Neteller.

    This is the third such seizure since this summer. Court documents in the case currently remain under seal. Meanwhile, the TransactSvc.com website was down and replaced by a generic placeholder page as of this afternoon.

    i feel like there's more of a case against sites liek bodog that also offer sports betting. because this is directly what the government was set out to stop, sports betting...poker is still gray area, but sports betting is clearly illegal in most states

    Thank you very much for writing. Should you have any questions, or require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Regards,

    Not sure how this exactly relates to the info in the OP, but when I received echecks from FTP most of the time it came labeled Foshay Ent Forshay, so I assume that's this Forshay Enterprises company. Hopefully this doesnt effect my latest withdrawel, though it probably will.

    Def land of the free tho. lol.
