I read some comments from yesterday attributed to a Pinnacle person that this was a pretty big factor in their decision.

I'd assume (if this is true) that other sportsbooks would encounter the same kind of issues.

Yes, that's a problem. But I doubt if that was key to the Pinnacle decision. It doesn't explain why Pinnacle would choose to bail just before the biggest betting month of the year. Why not reap the Superbowl bonanza, and then close off the Americans in March? A future banking problem does not explain the timing of this move.
