Why haven't the FTP pros been arrested?

[The Camel]

Seems like the feds are going crazy over in the States, arresting and charging anyone associated with owning anything to do with online gambling.

Yet, by far the most high profile owners of an online poker site, namely the Full Tilt pros, still promote their site openly on American soil.

Anyone know why they haven't been looked up?

They've done nothing against the law.

So, it seems like some people don't think I'm nuts for asking this question..

The Full Tilt pros do not own the site, they are just contracted to play there. Unless they own a large percentage of stock if FTP even has stock. All I know is that the pros do not own the site, I know nothing about stocks whatsoever. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I was under the impression a small group of the pros (maybe Lederer, Ferguson and Juanda.. but I'm guessing) owned FTP. And then the other were contracted to play there.

Was there a provision to arrest people caught playing online poker? If so, then why hasn't Phil Ivey and others been arrested yet?

Playing online poker is not illegal unless specifically outlawed by your state.
