Re: What would ensue if gov\'t seized nt funds w/o plans of returning t
Online poker is not illegal, correct. In the case that I cited, the argument against the USDOJ being able to seize funds was that the business was based in England, therefore all of the wagering went on in England and it wasn't breaking US law. Apparently that didn't matter because all the gov't had to do was prove that the company promoted gambling by acting as the middleman (ie, payment processor). And that was enough for the funds that were seized to be forfeited.
Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the USDOJ and their actions against the Neteller guys. But their situation is similar enough to the one of Intercash that, unfortunately, I'd be prepared for a similar outcome.
