IS SEALS WITH CLUBS DONKDOWN??? (Update: Micon charged with a felony in Nevada)

[DRK Star]

I think he may have deleted the comment I made on the reddit page, where I posted the skype post to buy Lock Poker, right where people were trying to say he was just a spokesman and doesnt have money.

Not sure who did the Drexel/Justin Smith ones, but you can make your name public again.

Todd is back up

Why would he hire Antiguan lawyers?

Because you want an Antiguan lawyer _before_ you end up in Antiguan prison waiting extradition, not after.

That's only what squares and rubes do.

[zealanddonk]

Lol what a fucking fiasco.

Micon is only a legend if he ends up not taking a plea deal and being found not guilty, otherwise he's some n-word paying a fine, or doing time.
Possibly the only defense has got going is "Hey look at these 2013 youtube clips, clearly I thought I was dying of cancer, praise the lord I got better".

[Muck Ficon]

How long before Micon's lawyer tells him to fuck off and withdraws from the case? Micon's approach is not good for the case. He wants no time, otherwise he isn't coming back. Lawyer's will not make that sort of promise.

If I may "play the fool" for old times sake at least. Bitcoins; re legal tender and the U.S. Government, Nevada State Law or the all important Nevada Gaming Commission.

Are Bitcoins mentioned in any existing statute, state or federal?

Assuming not, wouldn't a top notch law firm focus on this aspect when representing a client such as the Icon?

Theoretically, if we are playing for Bitcoins, which are not recognized as legal tender, at least not in the U.S, whose to say what laws have been broken?........................... What?

[simpdog]

Someone has to do Mason or David.

[FPS_Russia]

Could you imagine: Micon doing a little shopping, then sees this picture on the cover of the local paper.

I'm not a wealthy man, Micon, but i know what it's like to flee the country from injustice. Please enjoy two Coors Light tall boys on me.

Limitless, I am sure you know the answer and wanted to get that argument put away....anyway, here is my thinking:

no, Micon's law firm will not likely use that defense....here is why: Bitcoins are property with a market value, albeit a value that is not fixed nor readily determined by an ordinary person--however, persons knowing about bitcoins can establish a reasonably accurate value in dollars...the Federal income tax laws, and as Druff explained earlier, the gaming laws of Nevada, define income as creating value and gaming as placing something of value at risk: legal tender is not required to be part of a transaction that creates taxable income or wager subject to Nevada gaming regulations.

thanks for bringing this aspect of the controversy to the attention of the forum

More like his Fantasy Football shoulder bumping buddy Eric Lindgren. LOL would be HOF...

[limitles]

Some real comedy happening people. My oh my, just think of another "contributor" and you"ll get a HOF from the likes of MF, (can't be bothered with full name) or another post from someone who laughs at their own "jokes".

These types kill this site.

Thanks Mr. Hershowitz, if you're serious and consider that thinking to be rock solid indefensible.

Think of what legal tender means. All it does is denote what must legally be acceptable to pay a debt. That means personal checks aren't necessarily legal tender. Credit cards sure aren't, and probably in most (all?) states, every single non-US currency would be considered non-legal tender. It doesn't make something valueless, it just means it ain't the recognized currency the government prefers/demands. So, you could set up a cash game using Euros and claim it not to be legal tender. You would be correct. You would also be laughed at and shut down, of course, but that's what micon is finding out, isn't he?


The phrase "legal tender" has almost nothing to do with anything anymore.

Also, not legal tender ≠ illegal.

[abrown83]

Read the fucking statute!!!!

Literally again with the same arguments about Bitcoin being legal tender or not, it does not matter.

 

I am going to end up black cocking this thread into oblivion because of the general stupidity of this forum and Tine saw it coming.

You may be correct but I'm guessing the lawyers hired took a lot into consideration before they agreed to represent Micon. Precedence is relied on heavily in most courts and there is not much of that in this instance.

What bothers me most is the peanut gallery jumping onside the "oh so pure" Nevada State Gaming Commission et al, vs. someone "known to them" and in no way, as far as I'm concerned, a criminal.
