Black Friday: US DoJ hit Stars, FT and AP with indictment; 75 bank accounts seized, 11 defendants na

Things are going fast.

• Pokerstars, FT, and AP .com domains have been seized.
• Seizure of dozens of bank accounts in 14 different countries have been subpoenered.
• Arrest warrents for 12 of the heads of the big 3 poker sites have been issued.
• Pokerstars has locked out all US players from accessing real money tables and transfers.

And everything seems to be buckling under the stress. 2+2 is unreachable; donkdown radio is intermittent; pocket5s can’t be reached. Pokerati is right now your best bet (http://pokerati.com/2011/04/15/poker-panic-11-update-on-domain-name-seizures/), and pokernews is up although not updating much. Twitter is your friend.

This shit is huge. It’s headlining Hacker News right now. It’s starting to break on mainstream media, and it will feature tomorrow morning. As professional or avid amateur players, things for us will significantly degrade for the foreseeable future.
