People who do it right have minimal exposure and maximum returns. Micon's theme song seems to be maximum exposure, minimal returns.
Yeah the whole reason his list is so long is because micon ended up failing on executing each one properly, or else the list could've stayed at one and he'd be paid

Dutch rarely played of recent on SWC (at least under the "Dutch" screen name).

:lol2
-prevention of money laundering, How will the identities of the players be verified? What internal procedures will be employed
regarding ‘Know Your Customer’? How will monies, both deposited and withdrawn,

In this case the angle shootee is every B&M casino in Nevada that paid for the privilege of doing business there.
Would hate to think of the scenario we would be looking at if this was 1965 Las Vegas and he pulled this shit.

I gotta say, what worries me now is how the Antiguan locals are going to take to Micon's stick it to the man act.

Maybe the application reads like a warrant. -Micon " I am not a lawyer and I don't understand a lot of what's in it."
20 pages since I last opened this thread?
Cliffs for the too lazy to read crowd would be appreciated.

Not sure how seals is going to be the number one topic when obviously the dinos are the real scoop. If Druff can be the first to expose the fake scientists, so called 'paleontologists,' and the massive conspiracy to hide the truth all in an elaborate scheme to take our money so we can look at chicken bones on display, then he will become a legendary talk show host internationally syndicated, the biggest radio show of all time.Quote:

Either way I hope this all gets cleared up soon. Because if Druff doesn't get on this soon, I'm sure Brian Williams will do a nice job lying and covering up for it when he is back on air in 6 months, with a puff piece about how little Tommy found a T-rex fossil right in his backyard.
They quit making the worst podcast effort that ever happened, together.Quote:

The Chairman speaks some more...
A bit of new info in this Antiguan newspaper article: $20K in electronic equipment? And boy does he sound like he's trying to butter up those Antiguans.

Ousted gaming company owner considers Antigua for business
February 25, 2015
The chairman of Seals With Clubs, a Bitcoin Poker gaming operation which US authorities suspect has been operating illegally, said he’s is considering moving his business to Antigua permanently after his Las Vegas home was raided on February 11, 2015.
The businessman, Bryan Micon who also confirmed to OBSERVER media that he is already in Antigua, denied reports he “fled” to this country to hide from US investigators who, in a search warrant, said his business is in violation of the Nevada Revised Statutes NRS 463.750(10b).
The warrant further alleged the gaming site does not have the appropriate licenses as required by State law NRS 463.160(1a).
In an exclusive interview, Micon said, “With the recent development with Seals With Clubs, my former partners didn’t want anything to do with it anymore for whatever reasons. Some of the guys we’re still working with are re-launching a server in Europe and are going to start offering Bitcoin poker to the world and they are very interested in settling here in Antigua and opening an office here,” he said.
The investor said he hopes they would succeed in setting up business here and he’s encouraged that Antigua has been fighting the US, through the World Trade Organisation (WTO), in a decade old dispute.
The entrepreneur added, “I have been watching the new Antigua government and it looks very positive to online gaming and tourism businesses and employing Antigua and creating new Antiguan jobs. So, it seems it is such a wonderful place to live and work and I’m considering to go through the motions to see what it’s like to base everything here.”
Micon said he became chairman of the company after his partners quit and “handed over all the assets” immediately following the raid.
He also said he is not suspicious of his partners who wish to remain anonymous, although they readily handed over everything to him, and have decided to walk away from the company without a fight.
Speaking about the online media reports that he’s evading prosecution by US authorities, Micon said he came to Antigua about a week ago, but added his trip was planned long before the recent raid.
The entrepreneur, however added that although it was planned for a later date, it was brought up by a few weeks to give his family “a break” from the trauma of the experience, during which his electronic equipment, valued at over US$20,000 and his wife’s phone, among other items, were allegedly taken from the family.
You have to tuck your feathers tight and fly high in this spot.
Make sharp moves. An old man once told me that in life, "sometimes less is more".. You may know your truths, but the timing when dealing with a criminal case isn't always "right" when you think it feels right. Let your lawyers handle all your public persona/brovada...
Bitcoin separates the legal case. Its valid, we played for bitcoin NEVER a USD!!!.
Yesterday's article is still up too: http://antiguaobserver.com/gaming-ch...s-police-raid/Quote:

Considering the timing, I wonder if NGC raided his home earlier than they intended because of his traveling and getting living arrangements set up in Antigua.
