Today the following email went out from the PPA:
The PPA here somehow want us to believe that the outcry of email and letters from us has caused the Department of Justice to change its mind and let US players get money out of their accounts. Uh, no. Clearly that was their plan the entire time.
What apparently is happening is the DoJ is setting things up so that there will be no legal opportunity to decide the legality of online poker (they say it is illegal, most legal experts say it is not) because in order to do so the poker rooms would have to risk one or more of their founders and the stakes for them are quite high.
Basically get the hell out of the US, never come back, and we promise your old US customers can get the money you owe them and we promise not to interfere with your future international (non-US) poker business. It’s a tough deal to pass up when the alternative is the possibility of half your life in prison.
