    Don't see this anywhere else on the net. My theory is since the owner of 911 is a know government informant that he knows cause he's gave them up.

            Still as yet unclear.

            With any luck this is unrelated to Lawrence and Lefebvre's relationship with Neteller.

            But that might be hoping for too much.

              My wish is to have this entire administration impeached, convicted, and the key thrown away.

              The police state is here.

                And this after Neteller said they will comply with the new US law? How can they have done anything illegal before the law was put into place. They even said they were awaiting US regulations before altering their business.

                  Intimidation tactics. Remember? "You are either with us or against us." Translation: our way or the highway.

                  Trying to force Neteller into compliance. That's the type of people in charge of this country. Strongarming everyone and making up the laws as they go.

                      With Neteller suspending trading and confirming that former directors have been detained its apparent there is some substance to this story. The announcement tomorrow is what interest me.
                      Has anyone requested a withdrawal since this happened ?

                        Yes, I have and as it always does it's in pending status as it takes 24-48 hours.

                        My concern is withdrawing money from the sportsbooks to neteller... maybe better to wait and see if a different processor is the way to go..

                          I dont want to be Chicken Little but I predict Neteller will pull the plug on US players very soon possibly even tomorrow. With the suspended trading a US pull out is possible. I know it would be quick but look at how Pinnacle bailed out fast and furious. I'm a pretty patriotic person who always defends the US former soldier 82nd Abn Red White and Blue. This however is getting a little ridiculous. I can drive to Mississippi and bet my ass off and the government could care less but if i want to place a wager on a football game they have a problem with that. It just doesn't make sense. Its OK to gamble in the Casinos because its legal in that State and that County. Yet I cant gamble with a Sports Book in another Country where its also Legal. Seems like a double standard. You can gamble in the US but nowhere else.

                                Sam your right

                                IMGV no your not. I think this will all blow over I just recommend protecting your Bankroll just in case. I do think Neteller will eventualy comply. They even said they would but caution is best right now.
