I just recently took a pretty bad hit though from the United Stated Dept. of Justice. They confiscated all mine, along with many others and their own countries people's bankrolls. It seems they like to want to tell people not only of their nation what they can do with their own money from their own homes, but the people of the entire world.

The tally was upwards of 150 million+, likely closer to 300 million when they shut down Full Tilt Poker. I made the mistake of having too many funds on there at the time. No one expected them to try to force their liberty taking bs upon the world, just American citizens. But alas. they did.

I still play on various other sites, but it was my main place and I lost a shit ton of money. Am a very sad puppy. It would be the eqivalent of say working for 6 months, and having every penny you worked 10-12 hrs a day for, simply taken from you.

There is a hearing going on next week, involving the owners (who were crooks), the licensing committee in Aldernay, the United States DOJ and a potential buyer of the company. We should find out then if we get our money back, or basically are all fucked. It doesn't look good.
Damn I've been focusing so much on Miles' decline I had failed to notice how different Youngblood has become lately and the bizarre life he leads.

Child prodigy and gifted youngster. Top national amatuer boxer even interviewed on the telly. Gets into a cool fight with an MMA rival and knocks him out with a spinning punch.

Then this year he's gone mental. Tragic suicide, prison, beating people up and contracting life threatening illnesses. Now involved in some big money poker controversy.

This could be an interesting story to follow. Much less self absorbed than Miles too, for whom 90 percent of his life takes place in his head. Youngblood is living the reckless, dangerous life of a Hollywood film.
