sorry, but I have been out of the loop with work this month..

i scanned some threads here, but too much info that has changed it looks like..

here's what i think happened:

2 guys from NT were arrested, now NT is afraid to interact with US banks? so right now, no way for US accounts to get money out of NT,but it seems like eventually we will be able to after NT figures out how to do it legally??

besides the 2 NT guys getting arrested, did the US make some kind of statement to NT/online poker sites that has scared them? this is the part i don't get - what has made NT change their ways?

Not really... it appears that in arresting the 2 Neteller founders, the DOJ also got the 3rd party processors Neteller used to move funds around the US (because the founder were at least at some point involved in those companies, and may still be).

In a nutshell... the gaming sites use Neteller to hide where funds are going... and Neteller used other "unknown" (to anyone who didn't care to exert even minimal effort to discover) companies to hide that the transactions were with Neteller.

So basically, the DOJ basically just informed the banks that XYZ Corps (actually JSA something or another and others) were really Neteller in disguise and doing business with those companies is BAD [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Hence, effectively Neteller's entire current ability to make transactions with US Banks (thru intermidiaries) has been shut down by the Gov't. (for the moment)
