This is all a little non sense to me. If Neteller can be charged, then every single bank in Europe could too.
Neteller does not have any gambling business, they are an e-wallet. They accept money from Americans, and then process instructions given by the owners of the funds. It can be to pay other people for services, like peer-to-peer transactions or it can be to play casino games. If an American has an European bank account and uses it to play at casinos there is nothing the DOJ can do about it (unless there is a law forbidden any international transaction of funds). And if they say that because funds use USD (and correspondent banks in USA) it is their jurisdiction, then you would have to charge all USA banks too.
It seems that I’m missing something here, because if the funds are held in the Isle of Man or in Britain, at that time the laws that govern any transfer would be from Isle of Man and Britain. Otherwise a coffee shop in Amsterdam could also be charged by the DOJ for given products to USA citizens in Holland that are illicit in the USA.
The USA has the right to approve the laws they want but at this time they are trying to expand jurisdiction and one more time trying to impose their ideas and regulation to the World. Thanks God the Tony Blair era is almost ended and Europe is following its own route.
Unfortunately, G. Bush had push USA to a position in which almost all the rest of the world don’t like America. And this is bad, because people tend to generalize things and apply this as rule against all the American population. This is unfair, because the problem has more to do with the administration than the population. The speech about the bad and the good, the evil and the god, and capitalism crusades are now tiring the world. It’s interesting that most of the people I know in Europe are now considering Bill Clinton as an hero and one of the best USA presidents of the past. Guess why!
