End of the industry? Discuss.

Wow.

Texas Hold-em was my thing back in the day and I used to play on PartyPoker and PokerStars (for ****s and giggles, not real money). I see the latter indeed is shut down and only displays the FBI warning/notice.

Wonder what all the people who did have real money invested in those sites are going through...

they certainly haven't helped themselves with their banking practices

According to what I've read, the players are getting their money back just fine, or at least the commenters of the local poker news site do.

I guess that's one way to fight the deficit.
