    Bottom set is right. If Poker Stars and Full tilt couldn't escape the wraith of the DOJ, you really think Seals with clubs will be able to ? All it takes is someone wanting to make an example of him and the site.

    Seals with clubs isnt a big site so it is under the radar. However, you couldnt pay me enough to do what Micon is doing. Maybe he gets away with it and makes a shit load of money. But you would have to be a fool to think that he isnt taking a big risk in doing so.

    Micon has to take in USD at some point. So unless he is being paid in gold bars or casino chips there is a trail that leads directly to him. SOMEBODY from seals or associated with Seal has to convert bitcoins to US currency and then bring it to a bank account or convert it into some kind of currency. There will always be a trail if you move bitcoins to USD.

    In some ways, the DOJ could look at Seals with Clubs (especially if it blows up) as worse than Poker Stars or FTP. At least these poker sites were dealing in a real currencies backed by governments.

    So how is anything with what SWC is doing illegal?

    You are not gambling with any real currency. Where does the law forbid this? Does this mean the Zynga poker on facebook is illegal since you can purchase more chips with cash?

    You cash in with BTC and you cash out with BTC, no USD is ever involved.

    Are you this obtuse? Of course there are USD involved. You think anyone that plays there is in it for Monopoly money? The Feds have said time and again, do not gamble online. Now I STRONGLY disagree with that stance, people should be able to do what they want with their money as long as they are not hurting anyone else. With that said, its the law and if you rub it in their face they will make an example of you.

    Because USD is the only way to buy bitcoins?

    Maybe you should look up the word laundering again, find a way to relate it to SWC (not BTC, I'm talking about SWC) then you can come back, call me stupid again, and then fail miserably yet again.

    Bitcoins are mined through a program, I can get bitcoins without ever spending a dime of USD.

    YOU figured it out. So you are saying Pokerstars can now operate legally in the US by having bitcoins as its currency? Is this what you are saying?

    Wow, you are smart. Call the CEO of Pokerstars and let them know Micon figured it out.

    That's exactly what I am saying, but it's suicide for a poker company like Pokerstars to do that with the crazy fluctuations and huge volatility of BTC.

    As a side note, you don't appear to really understand what IS illegal with operating an online poker site in the US and what ISN'T illegal. You've clearly demonstrated that by believing you just had a valid point.

    Like I said, I can play online poker on Zynga and BUY, as in with USD, poker chips. Why is that?

    I'm going to assume that you're throwing the white flag here.

    You can debate the legality of BTC all you want, that's fine and that's up for debate, but what SWC is doing is just fine.

    Also, I'm going to assume that you forgot your own password for the 100th time and made another account after self banning yourself for the 100th time.

    So what you are saying is Pokerstars can re-engage in the US with Bitcoins? Is that what you are saying? Explain yourself because you look incredibly stupid at the moment. I will leave your ad-hominem out for now.

    You just demonstrated what a dope you are. You basically said Pokerstars can operate legally in the US with bitcoins. LOL.

    You are just another Micon fanboy. Go follow him on the bitcoin site you and the other guy in this thread does.

    It's tough to be the smartest guy around here.

    Yes I did just say that. Please show me the error in my ways.

    However, as I've stated before, I am not like Micon because Micon believes bitcoins are the future and I see bitcoins being an item of nostalgia in half a decade. I'm merely just going through the facts of the matter.

    Bitcoins have been big for SWC only because the cashouts for U.S. players is less than desirable but again right place right time for Micon and he deserves credit for that considering all of the shit he has taken of the years. Hopefully he learned from all of his mistakes trying to be a poker professional and holds on to this money. It could potentially set him for a while but if he keeps firing 20k prop bets ya never know what could happen

    Per your logic, Poker stars or some other processor can setup pcoins.com and sell Pcoins for US dollars or any other currency. Lets say for every 1 Pcoin it cost 2 usd which you can easily purchase using your credit card from pcoins.com. Pokerstars then allows Pcoins to be used on their site. The players simply use their Pcoin wallets to fund pokerstars.com knowing that every Pcoin is worth 2 usd.

    You cant possibly think my crude example above would fly, but why is this any different than using bitcoins to play on Seals?

    IMO Seals could potentially be breaking more laws than FTP or Pokerstars ever did just on a much lower scale.

    I have NO idea how Zynga works, but I am assuming even though you can buy chips for usd, you can not cash them out for USD. Is that correct?

    Who sniffed out this scam before anyone here? That's right: ME.

    This is nothing more than some money laundering enterprise.

    You people should have listened to me.
