In the current environment, prosecution of players seems highly unlikely (except possibly in the state of Washington or if you cross the IRS). The federal legislation that passed last fall applies to financial institutions, not players. There is now a legislation subforum, so you might check that out.

There are now just a handful of sites accepting U.S. players. Full Tilt and PokerStars are the biggest. Bonuswhores.com is probably a good place to see what's out there.

As far as moving money, it's definitely harder. It's more site-specific now than before. Neteller is gone. Epassporte is somewhat popular, but there are other ways too. Check out the internet subforum.
