The government is going after them for 3 billion dollars. I can't see how this will actually get held up in court. This seems like grandstanding more than anything. I was reading where some players were totally distraut because this was basically their full time jobs, playing poker on the net. Some even quit their real jobs because the money was so good online. Kinda insane if you ask me....

Luckily I only had a small amount of coin in one of the sites. If it's gone for good it won't break me. I've lost far more to customs recently ha... It's really gotta suck for those who have a ton of money into them. One person I know (who plays internet poker for a living, while in college of course) has over 80K on one site alone. I can't imagine what their feeling at the moment.
