You are attempting to dance on the head of a legal pin. Too many angel's asses in the way for that. If this was a question of someone making $20 wagers once a month, we wouldn't be here. Boneprone (by the content of his threads) suggests to be someone moving tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars through offshore gambling situations. I suspect the levels of activity alone were enough to tip someone off.

I really think he will be lucky if they unfreeze the money and just give it back without getting the authorities in.
