Why would online poker sites not rig their games?

[TruePoker CEO]

I understand why you refer to this as a jurisdictional matter, but I would just believe that a dishonest game which rigged against US players would somehow violate US laws against dishonest business practices.

For us, the issue you pose would be academic*. We run an honest game and have had no need to conduct research into what statutes might be tripped or in which jurisdiction if we did not do so. (*I once took a class in International Trade law at Yale, but I do not recall this issue coming up on the curriculum. I do not want to pay counsel to research this for us.)
