The conspiracy theory I've heard for a long time now is that the government crackdown was ordered when online poker legalization already seemed like a sure bet.  The government wanted to get rid of the foreign competition, and competition that profited from breaking the law, before allowing domestic casino companies to set up camp.  The bad thing for Pokerstars and company is that they have been nailed dead to rights on the financial fraud, even if that financial fraud was made necessary by the fact that banks considered a legal activity illegal.
