In another round of DOJ indictments, they have seized and shut down Doyles Room's site DoylesRoom.com, True Poker's site TruePoker.com and Bookmaker.com, amongst a bunch of other sites and bank accounts.

Meanwhile, two new indictments were unsealed on Monday charging two businesses and three people with operating an illegal gambling business and money laundering, prosecutors said there.

As part of the case, 10 Internet sites were seized under a court order, including Bookmaker.com and Truepoker.com. Eleven bank accounts were also seized in the United States, Guam, Panama, Malta, Portugal and the Netherlands.

Those charged include ThrillX Systems Ltd, which was doing business as BetEd; K23 Financial Services, which was doing business as BMX Entertainment; Ann Marie Puig of Costa Rica, and Darren Wright and David Parchomchuk of Canada.

2 Days late, but I think this is the Rapture, FML!
This looks like it is getting worse and not better.
I guess I am a little glad the few sites I play on are not named.....yet.

Thanks for the update Nick.

Interesting thing is, they set up an undercover online payment processing system and started the investigation 2 years ago (and included Homeland Security). Just think...two years ago we were in the very beginning of greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression, and this is what was important for our leaders in Government.

US Govt is increasing becoming more like Soviet Union and China than the Land of the Free

GAMEPLAN FOR US PLAYERS

If you are US Player and have funds online......Make sure you determine minimum amount of funds you need online to play the games you need to play, and once you cross that minimum, IMMEDIATELY withdraw funds so you never have excess funds online. If ANY of this money is important for your economic well-being, remove funds that you can not replace immediately.

Get your money out quick because a) before the site gets closed down and b) your run will come to an end soon.

I just spent 2 hours downloading them sites since they installed new software. We U.S. players are so hosed. I am going to have to find my 'social network' poker name pretty soon, as that will be all we have left to play here very soon.

The DOJ has nothing better to do than go after online poker companies, lol. The white collar business criminals that created the current economic mess are nothing compared to a few online poker companies.

i agree with what WEC about what to keep on account totally. On these indictments my source says Bodog was mentioned in it but not formally charged. Interesting Calvin Arye gets by again.
Lastly my thought on today's indictments coupled with black friday is the DOJ is doing the Senate Majority Leaders work for him. its the "blackout period" that Harry Reid pushed for in his legislation near-attempt last year that will benefit Harrah's when online poker is finally regulated in usa.
I suspect more seizing and indictments to follow durin this year's WSOP to make some more headlines.

It sucks knowing that one of the top enemies of the us govt are poker players. Like others said...with all going wrong in this world...with all to worry about...they are focused on this? Are you kidding me? It's all about money I guess and wanting to control every aspect of everyone's life.

The real bitch here is that the term 'Illegal Online gambling' is undefined by law.
