Plus, they should be identified publicly and turned over to the feds. Those should be easy prosecutions.

under what law? not to mention jurisdiction.

Spam email is a good analogy I guess but only recently was it criminalized or civil penalties introduced into law or whatever.

Common fraud law. That is the fallback of white collar crime prosecution. Plus, there is also civil law in that they are violating the terms and conditions of the sites. Would the major sites receive negative publicity for actually bringing such a suit? Short term, yes; long term, they would benefit. Better yet, bring the suit in the English or Gilbraltar courts and force the defendent either to show or try them in abstentia and then extradite. Extradition works both ways.

Have USA ever extradited anyone who's an american citizen?
