The DOJ has started a civil forfeiture action for the funds they seized through Baltimore. It names Bodog, PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker among other online poker rooms and Internet gambling establishments, as businesses having conducted money transactions with targeted payment processors.

The DOJ's actions come after a long investigation into payment processors including Electracash, HMD Inc. and Forshay Enterprises, among others.

Once seized, the property was placed in the possession of the Department of Homeland Security, US Immigration and Custom Enforcement in Maryland, where it remains.

Gambling911.com was also the first to break the story that these departments were working in conjunction with the DOJ investigating the online casino enterprise, Golden Casino.
