OP: sounds like you got a bit more information and a timescale. If you haven't, you should have done and I'd agree with CS guy that a lawyer's letter before action may at least jog them into committing to those two things if they haven't already, although a lawyer would not be saying anything you couldn't say yourself. I'd be glad to help you draft a suitable letter if you'd like. I definitely think you should get a commitment to pay interest as I said before.

The intent of a lawyer letter is that it threatens a site with bad publicity. I would guess that a site like Full Tilt Poker that relies so heavily on marketing and PR as a strong part of its business model to not let a poorly handled fraud investigation bring it down. Imagine if this story breaks out into mainstream headline news.

If there is criminal activity, are the police notified?

This depends on the jurisdiction and the severity of the case. With big fraudulent cases, usually ones that exceed over $100,000 in fraudulent funds the FBI, Secret Service, Interpol and other international law enforcement agencies have been actively involved working together with the sites and the processors.
