    From the .pdf:
    The Government stands to enter the same agreement with Absolute Poker if it so chooses.
    Happy to see that players can get their cash. Wonder if they released any of the 75 banks so that checks already in the system will be honored.

    Would be interesting where this leads and what actual readily available capital these poker sites have in order to pay their players back. As Chips mentioned some if not a large proportion of the funds are probably tied up in those 75 processors that have been siezed causing mass histeria. Maybe they should stage the payouts till everyone has been paid. Hence you can only withdraw a x perentage of your balance to avoid histeria and give some breathing space.

    Yes, it will be very interesting to continue to follow this story.
    I was actually kind of surprised that it has gotten to this point already, and the money and resources the US gov must have spent to bring them down.

    Glad to hear the players will get there $$$ back. . . it's hard enough for the players to make money from a gambling site without the DoJ taking it. . .
