Actually, he ruined his own life, which should not be illegal.

Oh, wait. He's the son of a pastor. Clearly he can do no wrong. I guess the devil cames to him on Easter disguised as Lee Jones and made him lose all his money / rob a bank. He probably also made him have gay sex while eating meat on a Friday.

It's so hilarious to me that this forum has become the WPT forum: something happens on TV and there's like 5 new threads saying "xxx is a jerk!" and what-not.

These simple minded [censored] only look at the worst possible scenarios, they are blind to the people that make a living from online gambling.

I'm mildly glad that Leach stood up - it gives more opening for someone to stand up and say WTF does your precious family BS have to do with our port security.

And King keeps saying "It's a port bill! It's a port bill!"

Well, ports and internet gambling. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yet no one brings up the lady that embezzled something like 1.4 million from the company she worked for to pay for her scratch off addiction. Supposedly she spent near 40k in 1 day once on tickets. Don't have a link but saw the story a few months ago. Thinks like this never get brought up because they wouldn't want to say anyting bad about the state lotteries that [censored] degenerates right up the ass.

I appreciate what you're trying to say with this, but had he not played online poker I seriously doubt he would have robbed a bank.
