Full Shill Poker

Let’s start by saying that if you don’t regularly read Haley over at Kick Ass Poker, you’re a jackass. She’s got a couple of great articles up right now taking Bluff Magazine to task for various lacks of journalistic morals, as well as this bit about Neteller.

“At 4 pm ET on February 1st, NETeller disabled peer-to-peer transfer capabilities.” This seems to be some hold that the US Dept. of Justica has put on US funds in Neteller. So now your buddy in Canada can’t help you, even if you were willing to put your Canuck buddy at risk of prison time were they ever to come visit the US.

Anyway, go read Kick Ass Poker for all the details.

So I can’t get crap from Neteller. Money there is locked up, and now the FBI has said in USA Today that those funds are being held as evidence. “FBI Agent Neil Donovan says funds from Neteller are being held in court as potential evidence. Some customers may get their money back, but he did not provide a timetable.” Glad i only have a few pennies left in Neteller.

So WireCard to the rescue, right?

WRONG.

Now Full Tilt has a brand new plan.

So do I. I’ll be catching up on my sleep and my writing backlog. As soon as folks figure out whether or not this is all going to blow over (hint - IT”S NOT), I’ll be back. Until then, my $85 in my poker accounts is safe enough.
