The founders of the poker sites could face up to 20 years in jail if found guilty of breaching US anti-gambling and money laundering laws. Earlier today, the DoJ seized the companies' bank accounts and shut down their websites. Meanwhile, British gambling companies are preparing for what they say will be their 'biggest night'.
