Re: Regulations are out - TREASURY PRESS RELEASE
[ QUOTE ]
I have not yet read the regulations myself, and only skimmed this thread. But allow me to pose a question.
Do the proposed regulations really require the banks to make independent determinations of whether particular companies meet the definition of being engaged in illegal gambling operations?

IMPO this is the inherent flaw in the FED's request and hope & prayer PR stunt.
IMPO they said, in 52 pages.

Dear banks and credit card companies,
Congress didn't write a workable law, if we let you have liability free reign, will you work with us and try to at least be willing to consider perhaps pissing off a few high profile on-line gamblers? Perhaps the stink will help the administration in this hopeless effort to stop money flows to and from on-line poker/gambling.
Please?
Hello?
Hey we like insolvent banks and over extended credit card issuers who are willing to take a free shot for us, we have lots of money! Please ....
HELP me please!
Your's truly,
