QuoteIf you go to fulltiltpoker.com it will have an image saying the name was confiscated by the FBI. DNS propagation is still in progress so it might not show for you. 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

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?

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