I think it is wrong for a government to regulate an industry that is not US based. The banning of the transfers is wrong. It is not fair nor right to force business to shut down operations. This is going to affect tournament recruiting for texas holdem. There has to be a better way.

Welcome to America. The best government money can buy. If you haven't yet seen Moyers or Frontline on Abramoff you should look it up, I think it's also online http://www.pbs.org/moyers/moyersonamerica/capitol/abramoff.html
My point is that the reason they outlaw online gambling in the US is because of the gaming lobby. They same gaming lobby that tried for years to prevent Indian gaming from starting.
