Neteller is no longer offering its services to US customers.
I then went to Poker News to find the following article:
Neteller Founders Charged with Money Laundering Conspiracy
After reading the article, it is as I suspected. The US government is using some crazy laundering law to hold these guys because they transfered monies from US to offshore to gambling sites. By the way, these guys have not even worked with/for Neteller for a couple of years.
The funny thing about all of this is I had about $25 still sitting in Neteller from about 4 months ago, until Sat 01/13 when I moved it to Absolute. I guess I will now have to find another way to deposit money into my poker sites.
