An interesting site for players who've got money tied up somewhere due to recent events.

Very interesting... the totals so far...
Full Tilt Poker $6,152,675.70
Eurolinx $670,400.00

Tusk $42,450.00
EwalletXpress $28,406.00
Cereus Network $2,417,816.00
Now... would someone be so kind as to clue me in on which poker rooms are Tusk, Eurolinx, and Cereus?

After reading that web site set up by Wilt, this puzzling quote he made here: "Our goal is to use the data we gather to build more awareness about the current plight poker player’s face in an unregulated market." I'm not sure what he means by saying this.
For one the online market was always unregulated and still is. Just one glance in the rogue pit from just this site alone lists over 100 operators still up and running after a decade of misleading and stealing player’s money. Now he wants to bring awareness to the plight player’s face in an unregulated market? Why, because he lost his poker money to seized DOJ actions? Maybe this site may have been a better idea to start after the UIGEA was passed in an effort to educate the players of the risks they actually were taking making sure not to leave large sums of money anywhere involved with it.
After the UIGEA was passed making banking transactions out of the USA to online gaming sites illegal, the people that still deposited including me knew the transactions were being made under a false cover trying to fleece the USA’s new law.
For five years we were getting away with these phony banking maneuvers becoming comfortable that the DOJ wasn’t going to do anything about it. We all knew why the transactions were labeled the way they were. I for one never left an amount of money anywhere involved with online gaming that I would lose sleep over if it ever disappeared.
I also don’t believe the numbers he listed as lost funds to seized sites and processors to be accurate since he’s predominantly talking about only poker. I could only imagine what the real numbers would be if all forms of online gamers were actually included.
How many people would you think actually know about such a stupid site, or would waste their time entering information there with the sites goal to bring awareness to player’s risks in an unregulated market? All players now should realize how long the DOJ arms are. Would any players now that are still risking funds from the USA be surprised if another seizure took place? I would say this awareness site efforts would have the same stupidity of another site making sure you have a parachute on before you jump out of a plane.
I wonder how gallant his efforts and concerns would have been if he hadn’t been stung so badly for his own stupidity. Just for the records with all his efforts in trying to rally the masses in hopes of recovering seized funds has been a blank. Personally I think Wilt after being interviewed on poker radio a few times about his efforts got a little to full of himself.

I would bet total EWE missing (note I didn't say seized) funds are easily 7 figures or more.

I thought the thesis was the use figures like that as ammunition to support legalization and regulation of online gaming in the US. So we don't have messes like this.
But the effort seems a little unfocused.

Launching StolenBankrolls.com
Published July 19, 2011 | By WiltOnTilt
So in light of all the recent events with Black Friday, Blue Monday, and various unnamed government seizures and poor choices by poker sites, I’ve decided to launch StolenBankrolls.com, which is a division of PlusEVPoker.com. In short, StolenBankrolls.com is a way for everyone to submit their data for their bankrolls that are currently locked up as a result of either government seizures (IE FTP/UB/QuickTender) or websites going under because of bad business practices (Eurolinx, Tusk, etc).
The purpose of this site is to help build awareness. I would like everyone to submit their details (don’t worry, we are only collecting the most basic info, and we want no sensitive personal information, and we are not giving out your info) so we can keep people informed about any news gathered as well as give people the opportunity to stay up to date with happenings here at PlusEVPoker.com.
Feel free to hit me up with any questions you might have, check out the info on the site: Link Removed ( Old/Invalid) and check out the FAQ:
