Re: Has anyone gotten paid since Wednesday?

There is another argument floating out there that doesn't make a whole lot of sense given the legal precedent. One (if this one was a poker site) may argue that because the substance of the underlying transaction is illegal (i.e. internet gambling), then any contract entered into with that illegality as the subject matter is void. Contracts that require illegal action are not real contracts, kind of like how you cannot sue a hitman for failing to follow through on a hit. However, US courts when given the chance have NOT found internet poker to be illegal, but have not made express findings (to the best of my knowledge) that say that internet gambling is legal. I can get into more of the facts about the cases that I've read on the subject, but that's just a word or 400 on the topic to start with.

The doctrine of unclean hands would prevent any poker site from making that argument.
