I am told that it was me that deleted the thread whilst browsing blondes on my 'phone whilst playing the Luton tourney. I have no idea how or even if, but if so, my apologies.

To recap:

US Department of Justice move against Stars, Tilt and Cereus (UB). Charages against owners of bank fraud and money laundering. Looks like the Australian payment processing guy Daniel Tzvetkoff (arrested in Vegas last April, bailed in August) has sung like a canary and dropped the sites in it.

Reports that Stars have started blocking US player from real money play.

No new players can sit seems to be the story.

There are loads of US players that live and play overseas, especially in south east asia. I assume those US residents not actually in the US cans till get on.
