What would ensue if gov\'t seized nt funds w/o plans of returning them?
 

Lets say the feds announce they have confiscated all american neteller money,and they say that since the money was used for gambling, which is "illegal", that the money no longer belongs to the customers. (or some other validation fro keeping the money)

What would you do personally? What do you think would occur on a national level?

I would be nothing.

The national attention would be about the same or less as it was for the bill that passed in October.

Just like no one is standing up saying "How can you not let those poor gamblers gamble online if they want to"....

You won't be seeing anyone say "I'm outraged they took those poor gambler's money."

I don't think the DOJ is going to confiscate everyone's money, but they certainly could, and they certainly could get away with it.

ok, let me add:

what would you do if you had:
$1000, $10,000, $50,000 confiscated?

If it looks like the money won't ever be returned, I'd keep my eye open for a class action lawsuit to join. I wouldn't want to challange it alone tho. Theoretically I'd be willing to do this over $5 lost, but obv the more at stake...well the more at stake.

If your still a resident of CA, I think you may have a few on the horizon Geo.

I think there would be alot of people making posts about how unfair it is and how it's all because of Republicans and poker is a game of skill so they can't do this and it's not illegal to bet yadda, yadda, yadda.

And they'll probably all wait for someone to do something about it.

I know I would play poker, smoke pot, drink beer, the usual.

Thus proving DOJ's argument. Good plan.
