But without any DOJ action against online poker players or regs does an online poker player, Doyle Brunson etc. or Party Poker have standing?

DOJ prosecution of the Neteller execs and the frozen money was and is harm. Epass is the alternative, and it charges higher fees. Use of capital was lost when the money was seized. What if a player lost his whole bankroll and had to resort to lesser income earning? Though perhaps Firepay may be a better source of injury as they left almost wholly over UIGEA, or that can be argued easier. Numerous injuries are there, and we could put a case together for each one in each distrcit.
Its just sad they can spend the $ on expensive lawyers instead of hiring 2-3 full time rabble rousers online to organize and focus us. A month, we could have 3-4 different lawsuits filed in every federal district. Im sure we could patch together a gratis or economy legal team to make sure the briefs arent laughed out of court. Even law students would work. Hell isn't Harvard Law School using online SNGs as collaborative teaching tools? This would be an awesome teaching project.
