This started when the founders of Neteller were arrested in the U.S. a couple days ago.

This becomes very problematic for poker players. It's not bad if you some bankrolls already built up on your favorite poker site, but it does become a problem when you want to withdraw or try a different room. Hopefully with all the intelligent people in this world, someone will figure out another way to deposite and withdraw. Or maybe, someone with enough pull can remove this bill, or get poker excluded.... wouldn't that be nice?
