In a follow-up to the 2006 law attacking Internet gambling, the FBI arrested two former Neteller executives in 'connection with the creation and operation of an Internet payment services company that facilitated the transfer of billions of dollars of illegal gambling proceeds.' Apparently, the execs were 'ambushed' as they passed through the U.S. on connecting flights. Consequently, Neteller has dropped all gambling-related activity to U.S. customers, a move not expected for several months.

Good I didn't have an account with them then..... or maybe it's just good not to be from "the land of the free"

Seems to be the same tactic used on the Sportingbet/ParadisePoker execs. They too where arrested last year and held briefly. That changed the T&C at ParadisePoker and Sportingbet in a hurry.
p.s. the news categories: If/when grizlas comes on to edit your newspost (the small font on the links etc.) it will then it sometimes (probably when he does a larger edit) will say posted by Grizlas, and since you're using a new category noone will in a months time know it was made by you. On that point the old system was preferable.

Well, maybe Griz could change it so that the original poster stays despite edits. Anyway, I tried to change the font size on those links, but didn't work. How does Griz do it?

I normally highlight everything and select font size 2...
Vuzmanon January 19 2007 16:13:11
That's what I did... it just didn't work. Now I've found out that if I select certain parts of the link and change the size it works.... really weird. And I don't know which parts, had to do trial-and-error to get all of it changed.

Grizlas 25/07/2025 07:25 works with no issues in normal version of Firefox. I'm guessing you either did not do CTRL+F5 or are using some adblock plugin.
Norlander 25/07/2025 04:52 Use Firefox and it blocks all sorts of unwanted stuff of course.
Grizlas 24/07/2025 14:57 Using some ad-blocker? Try ctrl+F5
Norlander 24/07/2025 12:25 its mostly just grey for me...
