While placing sports bets overseas has been illegal for close to 10 years, online gambling has not.

Gambling is only legal in certain states. By default, if you are not in a state where gambling is legal, any wagering done, if in person or online, is illegal.
You are attempting to dance on the head of a legal pin. Too many angel's asses in the way for that. If this was a question of someone making $20 wagers once a month, we wouldn't be here. Boneprone (by the content of his threads) suggests to be someone moving tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars through offshore gambling situations. I suspect the levels of activity alone were enough to tip someone off.
I really think he will be lucky if they unfreeze the money and just give it back without getting the authorities in.
