Feds Charge PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker Sites
Lots of disappointing news today.Feds cracking down on medical cannabis in my state, now this...

The arrests come as a shock to some, as attitudes towards online gambling have seemed to ease up recently. Local online gambling was just approved in the District of Columbia and several other states have been considering legalizing it as well.

However, prosecutors are seeking $3 billion in money laundering fines, profit forfeiture, and are charging the defendants with bank fraud and illegal gambling. These charges appear to be more of a crackdown on criminal banking activity, not online poker.
