Cant remember where I saw the link, but there was a pretty big article about it, their stocks took a pretty big dive.
Reason they got arrested is that it is now illegal to accept money from a US person if you have a casino that is not located in USA.
This could probably happend to extreme porn too (such as scat, beast, fisting, watersports) might also include anal as that is obscene in some states as far as I know. |
Sure.. the gambling case is is almost an identical modus operandi to the Brazilian guy. Kaplan, the "main party" is a US citizen living in another country. He already has a history of gaming violations in the US. Hate to admit it - and it remains to be seen in court, - but does appear they were operating gaming promotion stuff from Florida - silly lads. Kaplan's whole family were involved in that while he was off in another country.
Oddly, there has still not been an extradition warrant been issued for Kaplan. There is also another background issue relating specifically to the laws under which the "foreigner", David Carruthers was charged, (This can't apply to the Kaplan family because they are US citizens and bound by US laws and they were trading in the US), where the World Trade Org is going to rule on a judgement already given against the US. This basically means ... around three or so US domestic laws (including the Wire Act) are "illegal" under WTO rulings and the next step is enforcing that ruling by sanctions. (Tho, there will prob be some deal to avoid that).
But sure.. least for the moment - any management of casinos are not travelling via the US till this shit is sorted
It's more profitable to take that business and forget visiting the place - same with any country who has objections to gaming.
