Re: Will Neteller Pay?

Mendacious,
I might be wrong about this, but I believe when Carruthers was arrested and Bet on Sports stopped doing business with Americans, the government said it wanted the company to return the money to American clients. Now, I don't know how that worked out, but I'm pretty sure that was their public standing on the issue.

This is interesting. It would seem to me-- as posted by someone else above-- that to take the position that NETELLER should pay profit cashouts to Americans would severely cripple the DOJ's case. It would be akin to saying we want Neteller to finish the crime we are accusing your founders of committing.
I think this is a fundamental difference between charging the money services with conspiracy vs charging the gambling sites with the crime itself. The DOJ may have painted itself into a corner.
