I have to agree with the first post. The government does not have the means to investigate every financial transaction. That would be impossible. They can only make a blanket statement to scare united states banking corporations.

I never knew that you could file any of your income as poker winnings. I figured those would be confiscated. I have never had more than a four figure income from poker, however, so that means I would go unnoticed.

In washington, where I play from, it's a class C felony to play online poker. Number of arrests made for online gambling in washington? zero. The police don't have financial transaction records or mac address records. Those are privately held.
