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

[cmoney]

I think it is a real possibility that his banks accounts were frozen. If they were able to get a warrant, they would certainty be able to freeze bank accounts. If I was in his shoes, I would probably have done something similar. However, instead of launching a new bitcoin website, I would be hiring the 1000 an hour attorney to be doing negotiations with the government to drop the charges. If the terms that were agreed to were not favorable, I would either stay on the island or move to another country that has no extradition treaty with the US. The unfortunate thing is that these countries with no extradition treaties are mostly shit holes .

People have already mentioned this but it is so important. Had he not been doing this from Nevada, he may have never gotten busted. Ironically, the more anti gambling the state was, the better it probably would be to run an operation like this. If you ran this from a state that doesnt have any casinos for example, there would less likely be any kind of gaming regulatory body of any sorts. There would also be no gaming entities to "rat you out." This would mean that in order to get shut down you would have to get on the radar of the federal government. I dont know if Seals would have ever been big enough to garner that kind of attention. He basically ran this from not only the worst state possible but the worst city possible. You would think that if he consulted with any gaming attorney in Las Vegas for even a few hours this would have come up.

I feel bad for him. I cant imagine the stress he is going through.

I dont understand why you would make this move, Why not stay in U.S? When they come knocking with a warrant bond out and fight the case state side, No need to run and fight the case outside the U.S IMO.

If he stayed in the US and was then charged , he could be insta shipped to jail. I dont even know if they would grant bail, and if they did, it could be a shitload. As it is now, if he gets charged he has options. They are shitty options but options that could potentially allow him to remain free. Also, him being in another country could give him leverage to a certain extent. It may be easier to settle with the government if they know in order to prosecute you they need to chase you around the world.

Also, a lot of this "fighting the case" mentality is based on the idea that no laws were broken. it is also based on the idea he has the money to even bankroll a case like this. I actually think this is an easy case for the government to win, and fighting the government in court, would not only cost you a ton of money but also your freedom when it was over.
