I agree, if the government would just legalize marajuana and online gambling our country would be out of debt if no time. There is a way to figure out how to tax both of them, just like alcohol, they just need to invest the time working on a plan for taxing verses sting operations. Ridiculous. This is America, last time I checked and I should be allowed to spend the remaining money I have left after the gov takes their cut however I want to. Sad day for US poker players

Sorry but i dont think you should be lumping poker sites with sites dealing in child porn or human trafficking…

Poker is a harmless game of Skill, and is in 99.99% of countries perfectly legal, even poker is legal in america just not online poker….

I have no problem with people playing poker, its their money they can do what the hell they like with it, if i want to burn my money i can.

Yes these sites where technically involved in bank fraud, as they Where forced to by the US goverments and Visa and mastercard, and all they actually did was create fake companies in order to process customers legitimate payments, which is technically bank fraud but its not really immoral like real bank fraud as it is legitimate payments not some spotty kid stealing money using stolen credit card details.

Yep, always follow the money to determine properly and fully “cui bono” (for whose benefit).

But I think cases such as these (and sites dealing in child porn or human trafficking) put those filesharers who proclaim they’re against ALL forms of site-blocking in a difficult place.

We know non-commercial filesharing is not only our future, and even the “here-and-now”, but we’re being unfairly lumped in with those real criminal and real pirates who deal in genuinely inhuman, antisocial activities – and they do so FOR PROFIT > we don’t, and we don’t deserve this attention or this label either.

Governments and the “content industry” worldwide need to wise-up and back-off.

Obama is truly dumb for not getting involved in this. regulating online poker and gambling with a licensing framework using revenues to pay off social security debt would have showed him doing something useful besides bombing one radical lunatic in Libya to support a tribe of radical lunatics.

No, Visa and Master Card, and the IRS have loss a ton….get in line since it wasn’t under the gaming conmission the programmers were stealing left and right. You let people write code and then don’t saw for hackers. Hackers steal from firms that are were made to make payments. The only thing they didn’t steal was the Full Tilt rake which was higher than any poker room in the world. As for money in you account forget it. They were into Bank Fraud. Visa and Master card and the IRS are out millions. About 3 months ago I won a fairly big event and wanted a EFT and it took almost 12 weeks. But, if you won an envent over 50k and broke the checks up….the IRS has the files now all players maybe fine to help the banks get back lost funds, the cases isn’t about Poker it is bank fraud, don’t think this is about poker it was bank fraud. They uses banks to trick Visa and Master card. These guys are going to roll over fast. They all have other cases, they even own one of the cage fighting deals…The card companies and the IRS report a huge problems………..
