US Attorney Seized My Funds

[Safehaven]

LOL If any of you believe this, I have some land to sell you under a bridge...

I work in a bank and the only transactions that would possibly get reported to the Feds are ones over $10,000...

Nice try troll, start your first posts on Rx with lies

Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. I don't have my funds, and my bank (A major center bank) attempted to recall the wire transfer and where told by another major center bank the US AG confiscated the funds to Neteller. They were making the transfer directly to WSEX on 1/19 and the person at my bank said it was also likely confiscated. He'll confirm it tomorrow.

I have no reason to post an untruth. I post it so others can be cautious in transfering funds.

You can verify what I posted by calling Neteller and asking if they have been hearing of this problem.

SAR's can be filed on any amount, cant they?
Isnt it CTR's that are only for $10k and above?

If it's an illegal activity, a bank is required to notify the authorities.

Bill hil where is one that is open longer then 5 to 6 and reads you all the lines and takes bets under 50 dollars.

You talking to me ?

I have a call in to the US Attorney...

If this is for real, you should not be calling the AG yourself. You need to hire a lawyer.

 

[Safehaven]

You're correct. Thanks for the advice.

 

[Chispa]

Actually, I should have said that you need to hire a good federal defense attorney who has experience with forfeitures. I hear Peter Neiman is already taken but I'm sure you can find someone almost as good.

The total is just under 7K. I think the right move is to make believe I took Brees against Bears and just move on.

safe is probably an agent just trying to scare off regular users. If you tried to wire $ to neteller after they stopped accepting players then that is probably your own fault. I would believe this from a few other regular posters who could say the same thing happened to them but not a fresh users who just signed up this month ... Also sending money to neteller or a sportsbook is not illegal activity on your part. If it was you can bet (no pun intended) that at least 10 million Americans would get arrested over this. Since the doj is trying to crackdown on Neteller and european banks, why don't they go after paypal located in USA who used to process gaming transactions until 2002. I don't see how Paypal and Neteller acted differently.

This new bill is clearly a stupid one, nobody is going to have a hard time finding a street bookie and now lots of business is being driven underground. If Canada tries to pull the same crap I will definitely be leaving the country.

they did go against paypal and there was a settlement paid (and if my memory serves me right....it was those annoying guys from Missouri , the same of the betonsports saga, the ones that went against paypal)

That's bullshit bro. This shit has got to stop. This country has been taken over by criminals.

1) Agent? Scare somone? How about just cautioning people.
2) I wasn't aware of Neteller's predicament.
3) You measure if I'm being truthful by when I signed up? You know, I'm the jerk for responding to your post.

SARs can be filed for any amount it is up to the teller. If they think the money is being used for something the FEDS might be interrested they can file one they can also file if they don't like you. But they have to file on funds over 10k it is the law. I can see where the FGeds could have flag deposits or wires to netteller. Don't worry if they want you they will get you.

 

[nhoj]

Paypal paid 10 million dollars to make the feds go away. Trust me they oppened a big can a of whoop ass on paypal in 2002. Paypal settled by paying 10 million in fines. Do some research on this it is out their. This was one of the main reasons the founders of paypal sold to Ebay.

 

[Salain]

All because you're doing this from new york. bad idea...

 

[MrJ]

Well sending money to neteller doesn't violate the new law, since neteller can be used for things besides gambling transactions. I guess they consider it sending money to a company operating 'illegally'.

This is disgusting if it is average citizens getting punished.

 

[Legend-I-Aint]

I cry bullshit on this thread.

I cry bullshit on this thread.

I'm leaning that way myself.

 

[Legend-I-Aint]

I'm leaning that way myself.

If the funds were frozen he or she would be posting from a jail cell. That's not the likely place this thread was started. BULLSHIT!:howdy:

 

[PunkerPS]

No one on any other forum has reported anything similar to this happening. I call BS.
