Legal Question About This Board and 2 plus 2

cardcounter0 · #1 02-01-2007, 02:18 AM

Since the neteller folks were arrested under the guise of money laundering when they aided folks in getting money to poker sites, do you think an ATTY for the DOJ could grind his ax some more?

Recently this board has been used as a message center for people to set up peer-to-peer transfers, and much information has been exchanged on how to get money to poker sites, etc.

Since neteller was arrested for basically helping people
get money on sites, couldn't the DOJ stretch it a bit and get 2+2 in trouble also? The DOJ has stretched the envelope and used some creative law making before. RICO statues come to mind, and some of the unheard of ways those regulations have been applied.

This board could be stung, just like neteller:

Federal Agent logs on to board, uses information here or sets up peer-to-peer with other board member, gets cash on a site -- BINGO! 2+2 aided in money laundering.

Just a thought.

I can't see that scenerio but I can may be see them going after 2+2 for advertising or the affiliates..

People can communicate by telephone also. Would the DOJ be justified in going after the telephone company? There is a freedom of speech issue here. Besides, 2p2's primary function is not to facilitate financial transactions.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

Is this site based/owned in the United States???

If this is indeed the case, would say the site, its owners, and their mods are very vulnerable.

The DOJ would be 'justified' in going after the telephone company if they knowingly allowed it to be used to aid in money laundering, yes. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech nor primary function. 2+2 could not sell marijuana claiming that it was not their primary function, and not expect to have legal problems.

The DOJ arrested two guys, who at this point in time, where shareholders in a company that moved money from point A to point B. I don't see why people who aid in the movement of that same money from point A to point B could also be at risk.

I am just throwing this out there, I wondered if 2+2 considered it's risk when it allows these types of communication to occur on the boards. You know the DOJ likes to go after headlines, could 2+2 be considered a good target?
