Default Toll Free Govt Neteller Related Phone Number To Call

If you follow this link, http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/nys/pressr...rests%20PR.pdf you will find a report that thouroughly explains the nature of the charges against the neteller founders.
If you follow this link http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/nys/
You will find the US govts attorney who was responsible for this action being taken, and the strategy being used.
I would suggest calling the toll free number (during business hours) since it is touted as a way to report public corruption, and it rings the offices of the man responsible for our neteller nightmare.
You might ask how the government can hijack money from the neteller accounts, without any proof of wrongdoing by the individuals involved. Some never gambled, but used Neteller as an ebay like transfer medium, and had money snatched anyway.
Hey, its a toll free number, so why not make ourselves heard?
It might let someone know that we actually exist, and someone might actually get some information as to when the funds will be freed, if they are persistant and polite in asking. Or, maybe we can at least be a volumous pain in aswering the phones.
Happy calling, everyone [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Actually, this could make for some seriously hillarious conversations, if one were to report it in a serious manner.
I wonder how long it will take the special agent taking my report to know which William Frist I am speaking of, for being on the take to the mob affiliated casinos that dont want competition?
Some people, like me, have entirely too much free time on their hands.
I will post a transcript tomorrow [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

At the time that the defendants took Neteller public, the
company acknowledged in its offering documents that United States
law prohibited persons from promoting certain forms of gambling,
including internet gambling, and transmitting funds that are known
to have been derived from criminal activity or are intended to
promote criminal activity.

Interesting.

Yeah, calling the DOJ is a good Idea.

"Yes Mr. Vimes we understand that your funds are being detained. We have just one question how did you get that money in your account? We are looking at you tax returns for the several years and see that you have gambling income, did you play poker online? Thank you for your concern and I think the IRS will be contacting you about that audit later. It should be no problem since you have absolutely spotless records. If you have any further concerns maybe you can come down to our office and we can have a nice little conference." "No, no there is no need to bring your lawyer. This won't hurt a bit!"

Are you SURE that’s the number for his office and not for the DOJ’s whistle-blower hotline (to report corrupt US Attorneys and such)?

First, the DOJ didn’t “hijack NETeller accounts.” They intercepted transactions to/from NETeller. NETeller still has my $23,500, not the DOJ.

Second, the charges are money laundering. NETeller’s founders are being accused of facilitating the transfer of money on behalf of those who are trying to disguise its origin and/or purpose. Which brings me to a BIG question: If you WEREN’T using NETeller for gaming, what exactly were you using it for? Because I tell ya, the US Government does not like it at all when people start exchanging money they don’t know about and can’t trace.

Yeah, I bet if the mafia all called them at once and annoyed the shit out em, that’d really help get the Don off those racketeering charges...

Seriously, since when has a court’s ruling or a prosecutor’s position EVER been influenced by public opinions? You’d just be feeding their ego, reassuring them that this case really DOES have the high-profile visibility to make sure they’ll step up the political food chain.

I wanted to call and yell at someone but the number seems to be no longer working.
