If you aren’t already seeing a DOJ SDNY landing page at UB, Cereus, Stars, and Tilt, you can expect to when the DNS is updated at your ISP.

so in other words wait till your isp updates your dns and then you will get DENIED by the FBI

Update 6:32 PM EST: Rumors are swirling that all indicted sites will be completely shutdown with 48 hours, most likely due t the massive seizure of funds and bank accounts. (source Andrew Feldman)

seems like a prime opportunity to start a nz online gambling site if it doesn't already exist, although i guess the pull of the big sites was the massive amount of players meaning huge amounts of money up for grabs..
