Dom you are much smarter then that.
If a legal action is filed against you, civil or criminal, you can’t just poo poo the whole thing because you dont believe it has merit. If you do that and dont defend yourself you can land in jail or find you are hammered with a $48 Million Judgement.
Unfortunately this type of goofy television outlaw bravado of “The feds will never get me!” is why we are having the troubles we are in this industry.
Many operators bought into that same line of thought. “They will never pass a law restricting online gambling, the American people wont stand for it!” or the equally assinine “Oh sure let them try to enforce this. The internet is too big!”.
As a result of that dismissal they didnt fund the lobbying efforts that would have prevented the market implosion that we are in now.
The same mindset is probably what got Bodog’s ass into a sling.
I hope we all wake up and take the threats against us seriously and fight the legal battles that come up and vigorously oppose legislation that damages our position.
This is another wake up call for everyone. Its sad for Bodog that they are the focus of this particular action, but I hope EVERYONE learns from it.
