Thanks for sharing the testimony, I will not be able to watch so I will be interested to hear others analysis during this:


I am an accountant by profession, so please excuse my laymans thoughts, I would just like to throw my two cents into the discussion:

1. It is interesting that she mentions a crime ring placing bets on horce races. I would like to grill her on that for numerous reasons. First is the carve out in many laws for horse racing and second (and more important) to rile up the huge horse racing industry.

2. Will the Harvard and British study on internet addiction be brought up? (among the other good arguments)

3. We have publically traded companies in the U.S. who are openly funding online poker, including Moneygram (worth $1.3 billion). I don’t know what question I would ask. I may also bring up other “skill game operators”.

Don't you love how Hanaway brags about locking me up for two years because I was a big mouth?
