If the money was caught in transit in intermediary banks located in the US I could see how they might have access to freeze that portion, but I am lost as to how they could freeze anything else.
Maybe Neteller has always banked in the US? Is that the case?
Also, I dont see why they are so eager to 100% cooperate with the DOJ by handing over paperwork. I would hope that the only paperwork that might be handed over would be that that pertains to the sportbooks wagers their plant made.
Frozen funds were in transit to pay US customers, in transit from US customers to Neteller and some Neteller funds on US banks. Not money held outside US, where they can’t touch because it’s not their business.
The vast majority of funds are held outside US, much of them not belonging to US customers. I don’t think the DoJ touched any of that. That could lead to an international crisis.
regarding paperwork, I think 100% cooperation means: they simply want to recover the money.
