Nice of Catherine Hanaway to finally admit that poker sites haven't been used to launder money via chip dumping.

I assume you're joking. But I have to consider that maybe she did and I missed it. The feed keeps crapping out on me and I have to relaunch it.

She 100% admitted that there has been no money laundering other then the "illegal gambling" money...

I think Bobby Scott was excellent and knowledgable and is following up very well on what he spoke to us about at the fly-in....more Q&A to follow and it should be worth hearing to say the least, too bad the vote was now it was really heating up

Hannaway’s testimony and her description of the DOJ’s position that all placing of bets online is illegal, provides a big opportunity for us I think. Because of this position it might be possible to make the horse racing industry and major sports feel criminally vulnerable and thereby turn their powerful lobbies to help legalize online gaming. To do this, pressure has to be put on the DOJ to make some kind of arrest towards these groups.

Also, does this situation provide an equal protection issue? I know prosecutors have a great deal of discretion, but this situation is so over the top that it smacks of something more than discretion used with good faith.

Goodlatte: "What if it wasn't gambling we accidently allowed, but Cocaine, or Rocket Grenades from Columbia: How would you feel then"

Weiler has been chewing them up. But from what I heard he neglected to mention here that cocaine is different because we don't have USA companies legally providing cocaine in USA (AFAIK). Great work making it clear what he was commenting on (why moral argument didn't pass muster with WTO) and getting his point across.

and LOL - Beer Positioning System FTW.
These Luddites really don't understand technology - that's why they keep claiming money laundering is a bigger risk online than at B&M.

Uhh yeah, I could easily go to vegas and trade some guy cash for his chips then cashout at the cage AND pay my taxes.
