One of our members on my other forum has recently, if I am understanding her entire post correctly, accepted peer to peer transfers from U.S. players. I'm not saying why she did it, wink wink. Maybe she later transfered money from her FT account to their FT account. Maybe she didn't. Certainly Neteller wouldn't be able to tell. Maybe it was little Bobby sending Aunt Nell money for her goiter operation, via Neteller.
It seems her Neteller account has been frozen for a few days.
Oh, yeah, she's Canadien.
Luckily I transfered my money out of neteller the day before they closed to U.S. players. I know there are many who were not so lucky.
Found these over in the 2+2 forum and thought I would share it here for those who may not read that forum.

To clarify though funds are not being held for investigation against online poker players, funds are being withheld and investigated as part of the investigation against Neteller for aiding in money laundering and sports gambling.
Anyone see this as a good thing? Like now people with $$ in limbo have a target to fire at (FBI & DoJ)? Nothing like people with money issues sending mass emails/phone calls/bangin on your door. Even as arrogant as the DoJ has been, I don't think any organization wants to be the one under fire for holding funds, it is a hot potato and paints a big red target for angry neteller customers to fire at.
Yeah, neteller first said to do p2p to help things out, then it apparently created a loophole for people to redeposit into sites so they said, nonono and began closing accts.
Ah, I just realized the pertinent part here. Money cashed out from BetOnSports is tied up, not from any other source.
I'm planning to bomb my way to Canada and set up camp. They'll send all their forces to bomb the Baldwin's and I'll take over... lolaments canadiens r so dumb. Then I can do all the netellering that I want and live like a king.
Or it could just be that America sucks a fat stripper's toe right now.
