So you are basically saying that if they get good feedback on extradition isssues they will stay in business?

FWIW, I've done some research on Wikipedia and it looks like the Isle of Man (where Stars is based) is in a different category than Gibraltar (where Party is based) in terms of its relationship with the United Kingdom. Whereas Gibraltar is a British territory, the Isle of Man is not technically part of the UK but instead something called a "crown dependancy".
Admittedly, I don't understand the nuances of all of this stuff, but the upshot seems to be that the Isle of Man is closer to being a sovereign, independent state than Gibraltar is. Therefore, the fact that Gibraltar-based companies felt that the UK would not protect them sufficiently against extradition does not necessarily mean that an Isle of Man company will reach the same conclusion.
