Legal Question About This Board and 2 plus 2
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. |

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.

With this Justice Dept. ANYTHING is possible. Remember, this justice dept. has publicly stated that they are going to go after MAINSTREAM porn producers - Jenna Jameson type porn producers - and attempt to prosecute them. I would not be suprised in the LEAST if they came after ANY website that covers online gaming.
What a country. |

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. -FH- |

We haven't crossed the poker is illegal bridge yet. So far sportsbook are in the crosshairs of the DOJ.
I wonder if Neteller only did poker transactions they would be dealing with the issues they are now. |
