Well if any of those people are not save from arrests, then that means there are pros from Full Tilt who would fall into the same category (i.e. Lederer, Ferguson, etc.).

These guys are in slightly deeper from what I've heard because they own the software for FT. They're probably ok, but they're def. more of a target then the Stars spokesmen.

Lederer no longer lives in the USA, Full Tilt has relocated to Ireland earlier this year.

You are right. Forgot he went to Ireland. But this guy brings up an interesting point...

Look kids: The United States does not have juridiction outside its borders. Pokersites are not set up on U.S. soil. Therefore they have no jurisdiction. It's that simple.

Obviously, you're not a lawyer. A better answer is, if a person (even a foreign one) does business in our country, it's subject to our courts. Poker sites in general have gone to great lengths to establish their domicile in foreign countries, but the fact is many of them rely on American players for much of their revenue. Thus, they are subject to our laws and our legal system, notwithstanding their self-serving comments. Just because they strongly believe that's not the case doesn't make it so.

It is true that the companies by doing business with u.s. citizens have established continuous and systematic contacts sufficient to give the U.S. courts jurisdiction over them. However, all extradition treaties require that the act be a crime in both countries. So while a U.S. court would have the jurisdiction to indict the head of a company, if they can't get the host country to extradite, how are they supposed to actually stop them?

So do you think Party and Neteller are just being too precautious or overthinking this act?

What effect do you think this point would have on sites such as Full Tilt and Stars?
