Neteller Sucks, Part 2
So there’s a story going around about Neteller’s funds having been seized by the FBI. A Google News search will show you about 8 million stories, but every one of them merely cites one USA Today article in which an FBI agent named Neil Donovan made the claim. Mass hysteria has, of course, ensued, with forum residents and shitty sites like Gambling 911 posting their uneducated opinions.
The USA Today article in question is very vague. A lot of people have taken it to mean that it was actually funds of BetOnSports customers that were seized. It has been pointed out that Neteller, as a licensed and regulated FSA in the United Kingdom, would be required to report such a seizure immediately and has not. And Neteller is sticking to their story of our funds being held in a trust somewhere.
So it will be interesting to see how this pans out.
As a side note I Googled the FBI agent in question’s name and the only other story I found about him was also on that turd of a website Gambling 911 where he was talking about Kylie Minogue breaking up with her boyfriend.
“USA Today quoted FBI agent Neil Donovan "They have made it clear that the decision to go their separate ways was mutual and amicable," the statement said.”So, I’m not sure how the FBI agent is really to be trusted.
Either way the situation pretty much sucks. I had more money stuck in there than I had realized, and now I pretty much have no way to get it out. Anyone know how hard it is to become a Canadian citizen?
