No one's money was frozen. If you had money on "NETELLER" or "Moneybookers" (Skrill), they forced you to cash out and that was it. Party Poker also stopped offering play to US citizens, but they too also sent you a check. If you were on Full Tilt or Pokerstars, you could continue to play (assuming you weren't too shellshocked from the news). Agree with the rest of what you said though.
