Guys take a hint from the poker community. Some of the accounts that were siezed from Usemywallet and Quicktender has to do with some poker sites. And look how they handled it. I suggest someone call Lisa Ward and figure out where your money is .

just spoke with Lisa Ward from the Homeland Security Office. She specifically told me they did not seize any transfers from Chargestream or Quicktender to US bank accounts. She basically told me she suspects Quicktender took all the money and ran. She says they are "trying to get to the bottom of this because it is a mess".I talked to her this morning as well, but couldn't get to the computer to update you guys until now. She was very nice on the phone and seemed to sincerely want to figure out what the heck happened. She reiterated to me more than once that she feels that QT is using this as an excuse to steal everyone's money.
I explained to her the way I came to believe that QT had some money seized, namely, that I withdrew funds in early april from QT and on my bank wire receipt it showed CHARGESTREAM LTD with the same back account number from the netherlands that was seized. I explained I had 26k or so in that account and now QT has closed up shop.
She told me she has my name and will be able to go through to double check to see if their fake company (linwood) has processed any of my personal withdraws. She said that would give us a good idea about what is going on and she would get back to me when she hears from some of the technical guys on the other team. It sounds like a different department than hers was doing the actual Linwood website/frontend/payment processing. I thanked per profusely for her help.
She said she had a lot of voicemails to return, but she was reasonably confident that the government doesn't have our money. I'm still skeptical just given the fact that money literally came from the exact same company/bank account as was seized. She said it is a priority of theirs to get to the bottom of this to ensure they don't have our funds.
If she comes back and says their payment company did not process any of my personal withdraws and therefore doesn't think they have any of my money, then I will try to dig deeper into what funds they think are in that chargestream account and why I would have received money from it before if it was just operating funds (and not user funds).
I'll keep everyone updated as I hear back from her.
