So how many of you are going through withdrawals today???Full Tilt's gambling license suspendedLAS VEGAS -- Casino regulators on the British Channel Islands on Wednesday suspended the gambling license of Full Tilt Poker, halting the company's online card games and intensifying its legal problems in the U.S. The Alderney Gambling Control Commission said in a statement it was immediately suspending Full Tilt's license after an investigation prompted by earlier federal indictments in New York, accusing company executives and associates of bank fraud, money laundering and other crimes. Full Tilt officials did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Online poker operations are illegal in the U.S. under a 2006 law that forbids financial institutions from processing payments related to illegal online gambling. Prosecutors in New York say employees of Full Tilt, Poker Stars and Absolute Poker skirted this law by disguising payments, creating shell retailers online and pushing money through as sales for things like golf balls and flowers. The Alderney commission said its internal investigation showed that Full Tilt employees and associates operated contrary to its gambling laws. It set a hearing on the matter for July 26 in London. sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker/news/story?id=6717186

I used Pokerstars but fortunately pulled out my money a few weeks before the feds seized their bank accounts. The feds are just mad that they're not getting a cut of the action.
