Earlier this week, federal prosecutors unveiled a civil lawsuit against online poker giant Full Tilt Poker, alleging it was "not a legitimate poker company, but a global Ponzi Scheme." Full Tilt is now offering a powerful defense: "Ehhh, technically what happened was not a Ponzi Scheme, per se."

On Friday, the Department of Justice shut down the three largest online poker websites and charged 11 poker bigwigs with bank fraud, illegal gambling and money laundering. The online poker world has been thrown into turmoil, and hardcore players are being forced to go outside and interact with humans.
