Lets say he decides to go ahead with the poker site. His daughter 20 years from now is back in the states and wants to get married. What if the whole thing blows over and no charges are brought against him. Do they need a judgement against him or can they still arrest him without any sentence imposed on him while he is in abstentia?
free poker theory...
I play live poker so.. Most god players play TIGHT for the first, even 3 hours.. spot the tight.loose/mark etc
raise call or fold...
Seems like he has resigned himself to not returning to the US for the WSOP or anything else:
So apparently he understands the gravity of his decision.Quote:

@jvfricke I'll build a yearly poker tournament on this awesomely beautiful island over the next few years and you will have to come here :)
If there are no charges, he can return, as the statute of limitations will be long over.Quote:

One can't hate on a man who believes in his conviction.Quote:

garrett, you are welcome to comment in this thread, but please stick to relevant commentary and tone down the number of posts. Thanks.
Roman Polanski has not stepped foot in US soil in over 40 years because the statutory rape charge and law still exist. So if he is indicted, he just cannot wait it out as long as the law is on the books. I guess if UIGEA is overturned he might stand a chance, but that likely is not going to happen any time soon.Quote:

Polanski was convicted. He actually pled guilty, and then ran off before he could be sentenced. That's why he could be imprisoned in the US today, despite the length of time that has passed.Quote:

If you are convicted in the US (whether while here or in absentia), no amount of time can save you from prison when you return.

Just read the 2+2 thread in the Internet Poker section regarding Seals.
The stupidity of most of the posters on that site is astounding.
They're actually having a discussion about whether it was illegal for Seals to offer games to Nevada residents if Seals was anonymous and didn't collect player info.
Like they're trying to say that if you close your eyes and don't ask where players are from, then you can't be responsible for players from jurisdictions with regulated online gaming playing on your site.
Seriously, some are trying to make that point.
Others are saying that Seals simply needed a disclaimer, warning people to follow all local laws regarding playing there, and that having it would have saved them from legal trouble.
Um, no.
Reminds me of the hookers who think that putting a website notice of "Payments are for time spent together only. Anything sexual that occurs after that is a matter of choice between two consenting adults" will prevent them from being charged with prostitution.
:doublefacepalm
I don't know what point you're trying to make, but I can tell you from experience that they are constantly hopping between payment processors, so as to avoid having them tracked down and money seized.Quote:

The fact is they will not even try to extradite micon back to the U.S when charges are filed and yes they will be filed. They will wait if he ever steps foot in the U.S he is done, There will be a arrest warrant waiting
This is what happens when you screw me out of 400 dollars.
There are no sides, only players.
How long and hard is Erin laughing now. She had to wait a long time for justice.
Martha will end up leaving Micon on the island. She will make this choice as a mother.
The only thing I feel sorry for is Micon's asshole in jail.

Meanwhile it's just business as usual for Micon. He faded over 7000 players in the freeroll.
Over/under on Micon's rectum being 2.5 times normal size in five years?Quote:
