Default Why would financial companies take a chance with USA?

From what we have read so far, the charges against Neteller founders are money laundering. Even if the company claims that the 2 founders have no involvment in the day-to-day running of the company, what has happenned was enough to stop Neteller dealing with US-based citizens (at light speed I might add).

Obviously the US gvt is running a scare-the-[censored]-out-of-executives campaign and it seems to be quite efficient.

Now everybody is looking for alternative methods to deposit and cashout but is it realistic to think that other e-wallets will be willing to stay in the US market?
There is a lot of money to be made when the field leader leaves and greed is an excellent motivation, but any accusation that applies to Neteller, will certainly apply to any other company that allows US money to be transfered to online gambling sites, right?

Unfortunately it seems that it is only a question of (very little) time before every online money transfer solution is unavailable to Americans as it is now clear that it is considered "money launderig" by American authorities.

Every non-American feels sorry for what is happening to you guys and it worries us because no country likes online gambling and if the US shows the way to stop it, it is only a matter of time before we all find ourselves in the same situation.
