It almost looks like they do it this way to tarnish any good reputation the company had. After its all said and done and everyone is proven innocent, the reputation is tarnished. Surely there is a big lawsuit against the DOJ that is immenant. If US customers are not being paid, people need to point the blame where it belongs. The freezing of the funds? Now who has the power to do that? hmmm

Neteller are not the innocent. Some US players found a way around Neteller's problem with being able to send EFT's to the states, and this was by using peer to peer to get their money into another persons account (whom they trusted to do "the right thing" with it). Neteller offer peer to peer in their conditions, and it is up to the CLIENT to determine whether the service offered is genuine. Now, Neteller have stepped in to prevent US players getting their money moving by this method - clearly they INTEND the funds to remain where they are, as they have not offered their own alternative to using peer to peer as a way round the problem. For small amounts of money, this is not illegal in the US (when I entered, it seemed to be amounts of $1000 or above that had to be formally declared, whether in cash or securities - similar limits seemed to apply to money leaving too).
