The story makes it appear as if authorities are hot on the heels of Full Tilt with their sights zoomed right in on them. It’s no wonder why many players first reaction is concern when stumbling on the story.

So far, this appears to be no more than a fictional story made up from someone perhaps wanting to ruffle some feathers in the online poker scene.

However, this rumor continues to spread across the Internet. Some players are taking it for the rumor it appears to be, while others are showing some concern.

Washington State is one of the stricter states with regards to online gambling. Washington state laws actually make online gambling a felony.

This may be one reason why the writer of the story chose Washington as the place of incident when making up this apparently fictional piece.
