Default Re: Dont worry about Frozen Funds. Worry about Forensic Accountants

I seriously doubt they would go after players. I see stories on illegal gambling operations being busted all the time. I have never seen the players getting charged just for the playing. Can anyone report/link on a busted gambling operation where the players were charged with federal crimes?

Think if the shear number of voters that would fall into this "player" category, the size of the investigations/prosecution of individuals coupled with the massive negative PR just about precludes a federal strategy to go after players. I think it would be a stretch to fit them into the current federal statutes anyway, but my opinion on that would not prevent the feds from finding otherwise.

We're being facetious, Vern. There are maybe two or three posters in this entire forum that think poker players are in any danger of being charged with criminal activity. And frankly, those people are proven idiots.

Great, my sarcasm detector does not detect facetiousness. Now I have to upgrade or buy a completely separate detector. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I wonder if a facetiousness detector with be bundled with Windows Vista.

That assumes Vista works. Talk about people who should be sent to "pound-me-in-the-ass" prison - state OR federal.

Hell, I'd rather live in a Communist country where at least they're level-headed atheists who don't pretend they're ass-raping you for your own good.

I think he's saying that atheists are good at ass-raping, but not for you're own good. And they're level-headed about it....

Gaboon and Splawn are a couple of fear mongers that like to create panic from every person who views the posts. Take everything they say with a grain of salt... I can't believe they haven't been banned

If you didn't pay taxes though, that's more serious. That, I do.

If the DOJ brings RICO charges because you derived income from a racketeering operation, it won't matter if you paid your taxes or not.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes it does. Illegal income is still taxable. Thats just something else they can tack onto you.
