One morning (soon) when you and I log on to SBR, you'll see that FBI page also.

Don't think so?
Just wait.

You guys need to go to other countries and open bank accounts as many of you are going to get squeezed out of gambling.

**PaperTrail07** · 04-15-11, 02:47 PM

**ttwarrior1** · 04-15-11, 02:47 PM

Hopefully 4K points will buy a "get out of jail free" card from the SBR store.

No, I was talking to a guy I've known for years at covers, he (and he's not the paranoid type) was telling me, if you got big money in books, get it out, like now.

**jjgold** · 04-15-11, 02:54 PM

Fishhead they could

Ivey now will go broke

**OmgUrMom** · 04-15-11, 02:57 PM

good thing i withdrew my whole roll last week then

**Cap dat 4ss** · 04-15-11, 03:00 PM

I demand a 100% refund from all sites involved on all losses, since they were illegal losses. I will be suing the DOJ for my money.

Actually you can, but you have to be a financial institution and be using other people's money. And even then I guess it's not gambling since the taxpayers will cover your losses.

**JakeLc** · 04-15-11, 03:04 PM

good to know FBI is using it's resources on something important

Best of luck with that.

I'm ******.

I just called 5D, I requested 4K of my 4600 in there.
I'm not waiting to see how the rest of this plays out.

**CanuckG** · 04-15-11, 03:08 PM

I have 4 digits on Pinnacle...should be safe right?

**bbenson011** · 04-15-11, 03:09 PM

**Wiggums5** · 04-15-11, 03:09 PM

i would withdrawl if you have a significant amount of money in any books...

better safe than sorry

**shari91** · 04-15-11, 03:11 PM

I know it doesn't help many of you:

But for Aussies - I just refreshed and I can get back in to FT. Grabbing my cash and getting the hell out of there.

**CanuckG** · 04-15-11, 03:11 PM

Unreal..wire half I guess and see what happens. Doubt this will affect Pinnacle/5dimes..

**buzzybuzzy** · 04-15-11, 03:11 PM

Perhaps I just don't know enough, but why didn't they just set up operations in another country before all this happened?
