I would say all of them easily. Violation of State gambling laws and the UIGEA are the most obvious. Tax evasion if he was not paying income taxes, which I find hard to believe he was.

This whole thing is laughable. WSOP.com exists for a reason. Do you really think they are going to let a rival's unregulated site exist with the owner living in Las Vegas?
I would agree if swc was taking cash deposits but this is bitcoin, Can you imagine a defense lawyer could argue that bitcoin has no value in the eyes of U.S law or the same value as a wooden nickle, I would imagine if he had a juror trial most of them if not all would be thinking what the fuck is a bitcoin
