Another example suggesting that change is afoot unless Barney Frank & Friends can save American-friendly online poker sites in 25 days or fewer when you count Thanksgiving.

Dear Donkeybomber,
We really enjoy having you as a customer, because boy, you sure have been making a lot of deposits lately! My assistant Janna\’s boyfriend plays a lot of online poker, and he tried to explain something to me about AQ losing to AJ? Anyhow, damnit-all, that government is telling us we can\’t keep letting you fund your PokerStars sit-n-gos.
Hope you understand. The Feds are on us like hawks these days — and now they\’re telling us about this crazy new UIGEA thing — so we can\’t be too careful. Bummer! But whatcha gonna do, right? If new payment processors pop up, we\’ll have to shut down those transactions, too, and any attempt to circumvent this crackdown Uncle Sam might see as \”money laundering\” Yikes!
I guess all you online poker pros will either have to find new lines of work or move to another country? Hey, did you watch that show 2 Months 2 Million? Do you know those guys? I saw one episode and really liked that Emil. He\’s so funny!
Annyhooo, if you still feel the need to gamble online, we\’ll happily let you transfer money playing the games at Forex.com! Thanks again for being a happy, satisfied, Wells Fargo customer!
