They are not based in the US.

I can understand the US taking action against their own citizens for flouting the prohibition but how can they impose their laws upon a foreign entity?
It doesnt matter where they are located if it involves US citizens/US Banks.

Party Poker and Neteller already went through this and settled with the DOJ. The owner of party poker paid the DOJ 300 million to settle. I dont remember what the Neteller figure was. All of these indictments always come out of the same New York office. They seem to be more interested in big cash grab settlements versus putting people in jail. I wouldn't be surprised if many if not all that were indicted settled as well.
