Having a poker website hosted outside of the US run by non-US citizens is not against the law.

Taking deposits from US citizens on unlicensed gambling sites is against the law.

I am not going to sit here rehashing all of the reasons why. It has been specifically against the law since late 2006 (UIGEA), and on murky legal ground before that.

But that's not even the main point of this thread, and you know it. I answered your question, but please stop trying to troll me here.
I thought UIGEA made it illegal for US companies to facilitate transfers to offshore gambling sites. That doesn't make it illegal for the offshore gambling site to offer it's services. It makes it real difficult for them to run their business because it requires them to partner with someone within the US that is willing to break the law. I don't see how that makes Lock poker a criminal enterprise.

I know they are slow paying people and we can probably agree they are low on cash and in danger of shutting down. A failing business that leaves creditors is not by definition criminal enterprise. You may not like their ethics of accepting deposits but calling Jennifer Larson a criminal at this point is premature at best.

Not agreeing with Druff = trolling?

I'm not even ***giggling*** OK
