What is a fact is that a man has been arrested on these charges and the public statements are calling all online gambling on the internet illegal.
That is an undisputable fact. I’m not making it up – but taking it directly from reliable news sources that are quoting the DoJ representives.
Whether he is successfully prosecuted under the 1961 “wire act” is to be played out in an American court. But the DoJ think that they have enough of a case to be able to detain and incarcerate a non-American citizen.
It has caused markets to devalue gambling stocks – it has caused gambling conferences to be cancelled – it IS having a material impact on the gambling industry.
:huh:
That the various law makers continue to make further laws does not mean that the existing laws are unable to gain a conviction – merely that a law made 45 years ago needs to be enhanced with the development of complex technology.
To say otherwise is like saying that tax law is not enforcable simply becuase they continually create new tax law.
:dozing:
