Sounds like we know his door was busted down for a fact, but no one really knows by what agency or for what exactly. It seems way more plausible to me that once Micon's computers were seized - former owners saw writing on the wall and got the fuck out ASAP. That would support that SwC wasn't really a big money maker since the owners were willing to cut bait so quickly.
I believe Micon was likely facing either a bill (taxes) that he wasn't prepared to pay, jail time or both. But either way, this had very little to do with SwC or online poker considering the site wasn't actually seized like FT, UB, PS, MyRedBook ... ect have been.
Also doesn't make sense Nevada Gaming would go it alone just because Micon lived in NV. He was presumably taking bets across all 50 states and beyond. While I'm not an expert on police protocol, once you involve cross-border shit, that makes this a federal issue - and certainly the FBI, DOJ ... ect would be involved.
Sorry to infiltrate your forums guys - but as you can see I didn't just sign up yesterday. I make a living blasting public companies and the idiots that run them, so my writing style reflects that. Put your big boy pants on is what I tell investors that I piss off. After I hit send on these posts, I don't sit here bent out of shape on all this. In fact, the 'micon is a millionaire' and WSOP sucks so they shut down SwC has me chuckling.
