But check the whois for pokerstars.com and fulltiltpoker.com and you will see both nameservers have been updated today and they are the same for both.

ub.com and absolutepoker.com too


:pwned:
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

Good thing they're going after these guys and not the people responsible for the massive economic crash that pretty much fucked up the global economy for an extended period of time and bilked people of trillions of dollars.

That's because the stock market isn't technically gambling.  :lulz:

No, but the actions many of the people in question took were clearly fraud.

Yeah, I'm being snarky. Like Telarus' link says, it's a massive case of double-standards in our legal system. I'm in the crowd who's still pissed that the robber baron motherfuckers got bailouts instead of jumping from the tops of buildings, and I'm not the type of person who forgets that sort of thing as soon as the next reality show about spoiled trust fund bitches goes on the air.

You know who pays into those trust funds?
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Merely by being alive, you make everyone just a little more miserable

Yes, but that sentence was already long and full of enough vitriol as it was.  :lulz:
