WTF!?

Man I have no idea if this is like the beginning of the end or if it's not going to be that big of a deal.

yup i got the fbi message as in 2+2 on absolut poker the others work fine

Is this anything to worry about? Should I be taking the money I have on Full Tilt off? I live in Canada if that makes any difference.

For those who don't get the message: This is a technicality, the sites really have been taken over by the FBI. It might just take some time for the redirection to happen.

Oh God, we're all doomed! Everybody run!

The DNS has been taken over by the FBI, not the sites. Pretty critical distinction there.

Sites are still accessible for me, as well as the poker clients.
Cashhout worked fine on Stars.

Wow , so should we take our money out now ??????????

I guess it depends how much money you have online.

For sure, this will stop anyone new from signing up (even internationally).

Right now, trying to get my status updated to (outside U.S.A). Never updated it. Hope it is not too late.
Maybe I should up the stakes on my $600 (breakeven deposit). Go out with a bang!

This is really serious (FBI seal and all).
