Feds Seize Another 10 Domains and 11 Bank Accounts

In April, three of the largest web poker sites – PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker – had their domains seized and 11 people connected to the gambling outfits were charged with bank fraud, money laundering and illegal gambling offenses.
