Next Victim: Neteller

Add another company to the 'not a front for the CIA' list. Neteller apparently was not contributing enough cash to the self-serving U.S. government. In yet another of a series of gustapo-esque moves, the original founders of Neteller were apprehended in separate U.S. airports simultaneously this week. Neteller reacted quickly by first disabling 'instacash' purchases for U.S. accounts. This was promptly followed by the inevitable announcement that Neteller could no longer be used to fund any type of online gambling.

Alternative methods must now be considered, as most online gamers utilized Neteller for their funding option. Pre-paid credit cards might be the beneficiaries. One has to wonder if all of the recent attention to online funding methods is due to large monetary 'contributions' made by credit card companies to our faithful lawmakers. Any way one chooses to look at it, something is definately rotten in Denmark.

We should all pay close attention to what parties profit the most from these recent changes. The money trail should be fairly easy to trace back to the true culprits. I can only hope that every effort will be made to circumvent these crooks with new funding options that fall within the parameters of our ever-changing interpretation of U.S. law.
