24,000 Online Poker Players Affected by Federal Funds Seizure

APNewsBreak: Group says government has frozen online poker players' winnings

WASHINGTON (AP) -- An advocacy group for online poker says the federal government has frozen the accounts of payment processors that handle the winnings of thousands of online poker players.

The Poker Players Alliance says those winnings are worth upward of $30 million.

The alliance tells The Associated Press that the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York told three banks to freeze the accounts.

A document obtained by the AP shows that a judge in the district issued a seizure warrant last week for an account at a Wells Fargo bank in San Francisco.

The Justice Department has long maintained that Internet gambling is illegal, a view that the poker group challenges.

I have read a few other threads where people were saying things have returned to normal, but I havent seen that yet.  I requested a check on 6/09 and it is still in the pending section.  I'm not complaining that it is taking too long, but i know that it is taking longer than it has in the past.  I also have not received my ECheck cashout from 6/02 yet.  I emailed stars and theysaid they have no idea when that transaction is gonna go through.

know someone who cashed a recent check from stars at a local bank, no problem. A few days later went to the same bank only to find out that the check bounced and the account is negative (check amount plus some fees for a bounced check).

How is Stars going to handle this inconvinience? are they going to compensate for the fees and all this hustle?

Thanks,
D

Yeah, I just got a bank wire from stars, though I think my credit union took out a little change on my side.  Took about 4 days (business days, 6 cuz it was over a weekend) from when I put in the request.
