As  I read it, the Feds could go after the online pros using the RICO  statues...and go after their personal wealth.  The foundation for my  statement is that the pros, Ivey, Dwan, Negreanu, etc. personally  benefited from the activities of the sites that sponsor them.  If PS and  FT are successfully prosecuted, that establishes that the sites  violated the law.  And, part of the profits from that illegal activity  was paid to the sponsored pros.  Thus, although the pros did not  violated the law themselves, they profited from the illegal activities  of others.  Therefore, their "ill gotten gain" is subject to forfeiture.   And, if the Feds can show that the pros should have known that they  were working for a company who was violating the law, then there could  also be additional fines and penalties the pros have to pay.
