None of the servers for Pokerstars we in the US, and none of their bank accounts were either, however the DOJ was still able to seize those accounts. The US is not trying to stop online poker worldwide, they are trying to stop online poker sites from offering their services to US customers.

The major charges against Pokerstars were bank fraud and money laundering. If those crimes occur in the US, the DOJ does not care where you are based.
