What is the name of your state? NY
Another Question: NJ
1. I know people who have been at poker clubs in NYC when they have been raided by police and shut down. While the owners and employees of the clubs were arrested, the players were merely ID'd and released. Any money the players had on the table was confiscated.
Can these people get their money back? How would they go about it?
2. I know of a couple of poker players who were at poker clubs in NJ that were raided. They were treated similar to above except they were also frisked and any money on thier person was also confiscated. In at least one case, I heard the Prosecuter filed a lawsuit suing the players for the confiscated money. The story from a player who was there is here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=0&Number=6517480
