ONCE AGAIN…
Notice that they used a sportsbetting opperation to make these charges. They are gonna go back to the Wire Act, again…
I had been wondering — if the signed law wasn’t in effect until July 12th — how the government could argue an “illegal” transaction… considering playing at casinos is still not illegal even under the new law.
This is the answer: Sportsbetting transactions.
This may even be good news for us… in a backward way. What I see is our government realizes the new law has few teeth… and this is their best shot at shutting down payments, scaring players, and making the industry look like criminals.
