Poker Money Frozen?

[7 Out]

I recently heard that all monies are being frozen at the online poker sites.
Has anyone heard anything about this, as I was wanting to make a deposit.

Federal government has frozen more than $30 million in the accounts of Allied Systems Inc., a payment processors that handle the winnings for major poker rooms ( FullTilt and PokerStars for sure )

The similar happened to Neteller in 2007

That's the post from Full Tilt representative on twoplustwo:

"Understandably, many of you have concerns regarding certain bank accounts with poker players’ money being frozen in the US, and I’d just like to reassure everyone that your funds remain safe and secure at FTP, and the processing of withdrawal requests is proceeding as normal and is still available to all of our players. I’ve been gathering information on our side to address some of the rumors and conjecture that have been flying around, and here’s what I know:
We have multiple check processors. Only one processor was affected by the current situation, and we don’t expect any further interruption in check withdrawals or any other withdrawal methods.
All players who were affected by this issue have had their money returned to their Full Tilt Poker account and all withdrawals are processing normally.
We always make sure we can cash out any of our players at any time. You should never have to worry that you won’t get your money, and we’re doing everything we can to ensure you always have plenty of methods available for both deposits and withdrawals.
eCheck deposits are temporarily unavailable, but we expect it to return as a deposit option sometime this week or next.
I’m not sure where this particular rumor started, but there are absolutely no plans to leave any market.
If you have any questions, or would like to know if there are more deposit or withdrawal options available that haven’t appeared in your cashier, please contact support and they will be happy to help you out."


I'm sure you can find more info on twoplustwo:

[TBranch25]

it was fixed within a day

[TheProdigy]

Lol no, Obama wants to I heard still they couldn't freeze our assets and no site would comply with something that drastic. They did seize a bank around the time you posted this, fulltilt was operating with in CA. But they still have others, sign the document from the PPA please.

all players have been paid now, i wonder though if the companies got their money or paid it and the funds are still frozen?
