Part of what you're missing in your OP/response is found in Nate's thread on extradition, who phrased it better than I did. The other part of what you're missing is that while Party execs are offshore/untouchable, credit card companies almost all refuse to perform gambling deposits in the first place (this has to do with a longstanding US common law tradition that gambling debts are unenforceable in contract) and are now super duper immune to lawsuits anyway.
