If what I posted above (#289) has any truth to it, it may not be worth trying for less than 4 or 5 figures.  I'm just a bit skeptical (naive?) that it'll be quite that bad.  I don't expect the DOJ to make it drop-dead simple, if for no other reason than government bureaucracy is pretty much incapable of doing anything efficiently.  But neither do I believe they'll go out of their way to further victimize the US players, since they used our victimization in their own crusade, and made it clear that they wouldn't approve any deals that didn't allow for repayment of US players.

For the most part I think it obvious the attorney I quoted above specializes in government seizures but knows nothing of the uniqueness of online poker.  I expect he is looking at things from a typical seizure/recovery case where big business and big investors tangle, and people who were swindled out of 6+ figures fully expect to pay lawyers and watch long legal processes play out.  I'd be surprised if the DOJ took that tack with ordinary poker players, but I guess we'll see once the process begins.

I expect I won't bother trying to request my rather small 3-figure balance (thankfully I had withdrawn most, probably not 60 days prior to BF) until I see how it goes for others.  Then I'll decide if it's worth the effort.
