How fat would the Fed's wallet become if they seized all gambling sites simultaneously and managed to acquire associated wallets?

That's actually interesting.  Gambling sites that allow US players have been shut down in the past by the Department of Justice, including poker sites Full Tilt Poker and Pokerstars.  Bodog (sports betting) got shut down.  What's to prevent Gov't from shutting down Just-Dice or whatever?  They clearly service US players..

alot

but gambling is not illegal

Can you--or anyone--be more specific? How many coins are tied up in gambling at any given moment?

btw: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2007/june/gambling_060607 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_gambling#United_States

Also, the sites could be seized if they are being used for money laundering.

1,000,000BTC

You are joking or wildly guessing, right?

i know gambling is a big part of the bitcoin economy...

its a good guess, for a vague question, define "tie up"

addendum:I believe we will one day see some drugs legalized, like weed... the drug war was not a good idea. they should regulated it, and strongly discourage young people from doing drugs. Instead we get feed "this buds for you" commierals. what i joke.

hehe. When you own all the money it suddenly becomes rather worthless because all the people use another one.

They will let us keep 0.01 BTC. Then they will pay someone another 0.01 to convince everyone to make a satoshi divisible.

I miss the gox era. There was more volatility and it was so easy to make winning split second reaction trades on btce based on gox movements a child could do it.

EDIT: since I'm getting inquiries about the status of bitstamp via PM: I was trying to make a joke.

Woohooo! Thread name change! End of an era! Beginning of a new one! The world became a better place! Let's all hold hands and dance and sing!

(just a tiny problem, volume on bitstamp right now is almost as low as on mtgox)

that's a lot better than it having "over 80% of all bitcoin trade."
