When the FBI and Department of Justice seized the domains of leading poker sites in April of last year, they also froze (read stole) their assets. Some people believe they have found a way around that, and around any such future government seizures, from poker players or anybody else; this solution is Bitcoin.

They mention Seals and its affiliate program. I don't know why they say we are shy about answering questions. I wasn't contacted.
