What the headline above states is true. FullTiltPoker.com has been seized by the FBI. What does this mean for Joon Maeng and the Bergenholtz team? Only time will tell as we will keep you going as we get more info…
“On Friday, the FBI charged executives at PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker with bank fraud and money laundering, cut off the flow of billions of dollars in the companies’ bank accounts, and began making arrests, turning the once-thriving poker sites into scary reminders that online gambling is illegal (though, in a jolt of irony, it could soon be legal in Washington, DC).
