The founders of the three largest online poker sites were indicted by the FBI on Friday in what could serve as a death blow to the thriving industry.
Eleven executives at PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker and a number of their affiliates were charged with bank fraud and money laundering in an indictment unsealed in a Manhattan court. Two of the defendants were arrested on Friday morning in Utah and Nevada. Federal agents are searching for the others.
Prosecutors are seeking to immediately shut down the sites and to eventually send the executives to jail and to recover $3 billion from the companies. By Friday afternoon Full Tilt Poker’s site displayed a message explaining that “this domain name has been seized by the F.B.I. pursuant to an Arrest Warrant.”
The online gambling industry has taken off over the last decade, drawing an estimated 15 million Americans to bet online.
In 2006 Congress passed a law curtailing online gambling. Most of the leading sites found ways to work around the law, but prosecutors allege that in doing so they broke the law.
“These defendants concocted an elaborate criminal fraud scheme, alternately tricking some U.S. banks and effectively bribing others to assure the continued flow of billions in illegal gambling profits,” Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said in a statement.
网上赌场,打击的是美国赌城(尤其是拉斯维加斯这些实体赌博集团)的利益。
而拉斯维加斯的赌场集团,其代理人物,是内华达州的参议员里德。正好也是美国参议院多数党领袖,排名算是第2号国会人物。
以前的网上赌场,基本上是英国的利益集团(包括英国政界人物),所以斗争非常激烈。
统治带枪的与统治上访的,哪个水平高不是明摆着了么。
啥时候允许民间拥有飞机大炮航空母舰,那才是真正高水平涅。
BTW:俺没说美国统治水平低。这点您多虑鸟。然而还有地方比美国水平更高,比如不丹。
60年代,黄巾军罢课上街,可是当时中国既土且穷,光有毛主席的精神原子弹没有物质力量支持,黄巾军就散了。
到如今,中国的物质力量起来了,可毛主席不在了,黄巾军干脆都不用上街了。
使毛太祖,有互联网,美利坚何足道哉!
命也夫,命也夫!

鄙视的是“JY”。你看看国人对袁隆平还有杨伟(J20总师)的态度就知道了。
舞文弄墨泛酸的“JY”就放过了,我其实真想知道,茅于轼这种“经济学家”的数学水平到底是什么样的,不知道能不能磕下一本吉米多维奇来。
人家井大把空闲时间都用在写原创帖子上去了,只有咱这种无所事事的小P民才会送花不会写帖子……
我只是好奇,这12支花都送给那些大才子了,有没有中宝?

美国其实是典型的精英教育+放羊教育,不够的移民来补;中国是典型的庸才教育,天才蠢才义务教育后统统变成庸才,从现阶段来说,对提高民族素质是有利的。但是日后嘛,就见仁见智了。
日本人现在是在"坐月子",不过不是生娃是因为震动而流产了.:(
唉,平常美国人都这样天天过年,爽是爽,谁知道能有多长久呢.
日本人也算聪明,没震以前蹭着美国人过着少爷小姐风花雪月的日子,但也从没向主子介绍过"武运长久"的老观念.
