Micon was basically offering a gambling site that could be a front for laundered money via bitcoins when the law said gambling online was illegal. That is the reality.
That is punishable with jail time, somewhere north of 5 years.
Going overseas is the only alternative if you do not want to get arrested, if the Feds are pursuing, no idea if they are.
If the Feds are pursuing, you eventually will be caught. Unless you are absolutely determined to remain in a country with no extradition. That poses other social problems though, such as when people die back in the states and you want to attend the funeral. It's like being in the Witness Protection Program I would guess.
I have been to several third world small island tropical countries. You think it would be easy to just stay and drift aimlessly, and it's not. After a week there is literally nothing to do and you get island fever. Go to Grand Turk and tell me how you feel after three days. Now add a family and its a recipe for failure and it does not matter your bankroll.
I suspect the feds were closing in on SWC so the plug was pulled quickly on the old site - probably quicker than had been planned, which is why there wasn't a smooth transition from old to new.
The downtime might be painful, but less painful than getting the whole thing busted.
Once the whole thing is run from Antigua there's not much the feds can do.
Nice insta post/hijack dickhead. Not everyone has been bumming money for years like you. And not everyone lives their life from this forum, or other forums.
Going to be really funny this time next year when you do not hit the Stars lottery ticket and begging form roommates again, and again, and again.
Oh, I meant to chime in on your thread how you are not a transient person because you spent 3 years in Las Vegas and 10 month in Oregon and 14 months in Mexico or whatever it was. What you failed to indicate are the 100s or posts where you bounced around from rent-a-room and dingy apartment every three months. Left that detail off did you?
What a bum.
How was that piece of ass that you claimed you were going to dinner with and taking pictures of? Yeah, did not think so.
4 days ago on Bitcoin Forum:
- seals goes dark
- micon goes dark
- people normally vocal about seals are sanitizing their social media accounts suddenly
- micon pops up with wife and child living in a new country a few days later
- cashouts from cold storage are being managed by a site admin
pretty sure with all those letters on the board, anyone who wants to can solve the puzzle at this point.
Micon's still working hard to get SWC back up.
Is he going to bang his neighbor in Antigua and get married to her?
Antigua is a WELL known U.S tax haven and it is tax season. Not saying anything is there but IRS audits go back 7 years and things might have got pretty heavy as of late. The IRS will say that you owe $2.5MM, and what if you only have like 200k??
Also just google, Allen Sanford and Antigua.
aFTER GOING BUST ON A FEW 4/8 TABLES, MICON POUNDED THE $3 SPIN N GOS. HOW IS HE NOT BROKE, PLAYING THESE LIMITS?
someone tell garrett to shut up please.
You guys are forgetting what a crippling gambling problem Micon has always had. Very possible he is very cash poor atm and this $3 tourney stuff is all he can afford. Its not even like hes multitabling 18 of these at once, he is spending serious time playing this shit one after the other. Could any of u see Micon playing $3 tournies over and over if he is a millioniare? Obv not. Maybe the antigua move really is to expand SWC into other things, like fiat currency or a sportsbook. Maybe hes doing that cuz the current seals isnt supporting his gambling habit.
Wouldn't read too much into his life roll by the current limits he's playing.. Likely just banged a few hundy on while he gets settled etc.
And those $3 tournies he's playing are 3 handed Spin & Go's with a possible jackpot of $10k
They're fun to play if you just wanna shoot the shit for a while.
Micon's twitter is active again. He is promising Seals will be back up but it might take a bunch of time.

Fuck Micon.
Honestly I can't think of one good reason the Icon is playing those level games, apparently all fucking day, if he had some serious coin in the bank. If he has even 10% of what we think he should have, he should be donking it off at 5x those levels or higher.
But I mean it is literally impossible he isn't sitting on at least SOME good amount of BTC. Right??? There is NO WAY he is scraping by to have to waste his time on a 3 fucking dollar tourney. Odd.
