FBI Looking for Full Tilt Poker Players
Wow, it seems people will believe anything just because some idiot wrote it on a forum nowadays. Well, thats what happened today after some person posted about his friend being interrogated by the FBI about his small stakes Full Tilt Poker account. LOL!!! Really??? Come on people, don’t you think the FBI has better things to do such as hiding looking for terrorists? Do you really think they care if you play a $5 poker tournament 3 times a week on some poker site?
Well, many sites did just that today, as many stories are now being circulated about Full Tilt Poker and the FBI in Google News.
The post that sparked all this debate was made on 2+2 (one of the largest poker forums) where someone by the name of FreakDaddy (seems credible) posted:
I had a friend of mine who is a small time online player in Washington contact me last night and say he got a visit from the FBI. They came to question him about his account on Full Tilt poker. He doesn’t even have large amounts of money across 4 poker sites. He’s an older ex-Navy Seal, and was really surprised that they showed up at his door. So I’m not sure, and he’s not sure what’s going on, but something is going down.
Just an FYI. I have no idea if anyone else is talking about this yet, or any other players have said they are being questioned.
I don’t know if it’s directly related to the past seizure or not, but just wanted to give a heads up and see if anyone else has been visited.
Well, there may be some truth to this story, but I suspect it may have to do with a cheque the person might have received. Since the US Poker Sites are all scrambling to get around the UIGEA laws that are making it difficult to process payments, quite possibly they are just investigating the source of one of these processors.
We will post more information about this story as it becomes available.
