Can anyone confirm that Martha and the kid are actually in Antigua with him?
Don't worry about Micon I'm sure their is big bucks in becoming a professional droner down in Antigua.
Bryan Micon "Wearing Hoosiers Rock Shirts since 1985".
Calvin Is Canadian. Probably why he's still free. That and being a billionaire
exactly
micon can't even afford citizenship
although i bet he gets visited by some locals who "are trying to help him"
that's what's fucked up, he thought he could do the calvin ayre thing, but he doensn't have calvin ayre protection money
antigua has no horse in this race. they get nothing out of a broke micon and that is really really bad for him

Just cause we need a blast from the past up in here:
GL Micon, I hope you take down the Main Event this year. If you're selling any action let me know.
Does Drexel have visitation rights whatsoever?
I feel weird reading any posts by Wiz which are serious instead of some form of abstract craziness.
With that said, for those who believe this was an unjust raid/prosecution, answer this:
Nevada and the United States both have laws against operating unregulated, unlicensed gaming sites.
Regardless of whether or not you agree with these laws, should the government just not enforce them?
If you believe that, what about those companies and individuals who have been playing by the rules the entire time? Why should they get the shorter end of the stick for staying within the parameters of the law?
You might say, "Well, these laws are set up only for the government and mega-corporations to profit, so the little guy who can't get a license should be able to compete."
Even if you want to believe that, what about the other "little guys" who also would like to run online poker rooms, but don't do so because they are afraid of the legal consequences? Why should Seals get a free pass, just because they were willing to break the law when others weren't?
The bottom line is that there would be a million bitcoin poker rooms AND unlicensed cash poker rooms if it were legal to put them up in the US. The only reason Seals succeeded and Micon made all that money was because he was one of the few willing to break these laws.
That isn't innovation or creativity. It's affectionately known as risk.
Most of us here are/were gamblers. We know very well about risk.
And when you risk, sometimes you lose.
That's what happened here.
Or let me put it another way.
Micon wanted to run an online poker room while living in the US, and make a lot of money.
Many other US residents also wanted to run an online poker room, and make a lot of money.
Micon chose to risk going to prison and ran the online poker room anyway, and indeed made a lot of money.
Everyone else chose NOT to make this money only because they knew they would likely go to prison for it.
Indeed, Micon got in trouble and is now facing the likelihood of a prison sentence.
Everyone else didn't make the money Micon did, but they are walking free.
Exactly where was the government abuse or unjust result of the above? Looks extremely standard and fair to me.
With that said to my above post, the tone of you haters is beyond annoying.
unless you are from Florida and get paid handsomely for one time assassinations I doubt your life is better. He really did it.
With right odds and a non infinite time line I would certainly make a zero jail time served bet. Runner runner baby. Plus I mean like vegas "cnn ticker" 1369 said. The decision maker in this case was bought and paid for by Sheldon "Brick and Mortar" Adolescentsin.
Druff. This is your friend or former friend at least. Would he be taking to the forums rallying against you at the first sign of blood?
God I'm an idiot. For like a minute there I forgot that you weren't all in secret societies. Something over my head is going on.
It has to. Only way any of this makes sense.
It's just everything is so distracting and the obvious stuff that I noticed while it happened just goes away.
A function of doin other stuff, never hearing my idea from others, being lazy, and being stupid. I literally feel dumber each day...
But I am up to -21 on Celtics shore on my first four months into goldentee. Late to party. Damn the games awesome.
I am not rallying anything, and my opinion means nothing.
Keep in mind that this "former friend" told people at the WSOP last year that he hoped I would die of a heart attack, so there's also that.
But I have no power or influence in this situation.
I am just stating that he isn't a martyr or a victim of our government's war on online gambling.
Well I lose at life but win at finally hearing ONE SPECIFIC THING that micon did. I asked maybe 10 times. Ty for falling into my trap haha.
but wiz did then go on to say micon sent him a bitcoin he later cashed out.
i hope the micons get thru this relatively unscathed but at the same time it is one of the few stories/trainwrecks i feel worth following these days so i sure as hell am gonna get my popcorn out
