The evolution of this thread is interesting. At first they wanted to censor and ban me. Then we hear yes it's true but it is no big deal. Now we hear that this billion dollar company has suspended trading in the UK.

When an indictment is unsealed later today against Neteller, PLC and the US Govt demands billions of dollars, I suspect the run on the bank there will be astronomical.

Lucky for us we have the mods here to make sure that when it comes to our money, we will all stay in the dark until everything is reported in the NY Times.

If Neteller decides to not pay US customers, I wonder if the poker sites will honor the deposits made recently from Neteller.. Pokerstars probably, UB no [censored] way, Fulltilt maybe. Doylesroom yes. Fullcontact poker, yes. Bodog Maybe.

fleece_me,

As I've explained earlier in this thread, I had no interest in censoring anything except a possible troll post of an unsubstantiated rumour. These happen often in the Zoo - it's part of the reason this is called the Zoo - and waste everyone's time. Luckily, I caught yours almost immediately, and, from memory, there had only been six views. I knew that if there was any truth in the rumour, someone with more nouse than you would very soon open a thread with a link. No harm would be done with the quick deletion; but possible good if your post was simply intended to disrupt.

If your first post had opened with "See enclosed link to arrests", then your thread would have developed like this one. Instead you chose to open with "Is the rumour of Neteller arrests true?", period, instead of doing a simple Google-search and providing us with a link.

Owing to your continued emotive tone with the seeming intention of trying to whip up a hysteria, plus your continued personal abuse of me while I'm trying to do the best (voluntary) job of moderation that I can under the current difficult circumstances of regular and ongoing site outages and hangs, I have given you a short time-out to cool down. Please feel free to complain to an Administrator, if you wish, but you should note that if you post in the open forums and disclose that you are posting as the temp-banned persona to get round what you think is an unjustified temp-ban by a power-mad moderator, you will be perma-banned by me, any other moderator, or an Administrator.
