Excellent post, Dom… I do believe I remember that ruling as well.
Now, you know I love you and am 100% on your side, but no matter what the FCC says or believes… and no matter how lightly the DOJ has treaded up to now… you know they will use the Wire Act to get David.
I mean, look at this part of the statute… with all the rabits they pull from their hats, convicting David on this will be easy:
Whoever being engaged in the business of betting or wagering knowingly uses a wire communication facility for the transmission in interstate or foreign commerce of bets or wagers or information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers on any sporting event or contest, or for the transmission of a wire communication which entitles the recipient to receive money or credit as a result of bets or wagers, or for information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
