They are in a foreign country to avoid the reach of US anti-gambling laws. Costa Rican and Panamanian law may be a joke, who knows, but there is at least some chance that they can be prosecuted in those jurisdictions. Someone pointed out that local authorities may be more than happy to make examples of gringos who try to use their country to commit crimes.

I did. Taxin was not a Thai suspect until he went out and bought man city, that was when thailand saw that the whole world could see how crappy their government was.
They are also well known for not prosecuting pedofiles, but then one was on every newsstation of the world, and in two days he was eating cockroaches in thai jail.
But this is different, because american police has jurisdiction over this.
The international law regarding this was made when a guy, standing in country A, shot someone standing in country B, and got prosecuted for it in country A, despite the fact that country B wanted to do that. It's about the reach of the crime in this case, and this crime has been committed on american soil, because people that were harmed were playing in america (i assume).
