FBI Arrests Neteller Execs

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the jig-is-up dept.

Alcibaides writes "In a follow-up to the 2006 law attacking Internet gambling, the FBI arrested two former Neteller executives in 'connection with the creation and operation of an Internet payment services company that facilitated the transfer of billions of dollars of illegal gambling proceeds.' Apparently, the execs were 'ambushed' as they passed through the U.S. on connecting flights. Consequently, Neteller has dropped all gambling-related activity to U.S. customers, a move not expected for several months."

    Pssst. Perhaps we wanted a civil war eh?

    The little dickins are doing great killing themselves off that even Iran and Syria are into the fray. Saudia Arabia want to join in too according to recent news. Now with all the Arab nations talking jihad against the USA for the last 25 years, how brilliant would it be to take the lid off a little barbaric inbred state of holy-fuck-ups and let the whole Arab world implode? And to do it with less than 100,000 troops to destabalize the region just long enough before we allow total chaos to take control?

    I think that's fucking genius. Scorched earth in reverse. Hey - fuck with us - we'll let you devolve into a civil war that will keep you killing one another for 50-100 years. Fantastic! And best part? We get to watch the whole thing on TV! The broadcast rights alone are worth a fortune!

    Where were you in the 1980's?

    We sent the military to Panama to arrest their President for drug trafficing. He wasn't in the US at the time that he committed his alleged crimes.

    Hell, even the NY Times plainly states that the Iranians are funding terrorists in a BIG WAY. It's not a right wing conspiracy theory. It's a proxy war.

    You mean just like France funded the US (colonies) against the British in the War of Independence?

    Heck, if we got invaded I'd certainly hope somebody would step up and help us repel the foreign invaders who came in unprovoked on a basis of lies and murdered our families.

    So, the terrorists in Iraq are the Americans by any definition you care to use.
    Pretty sad when Iran are the good guys compared to us.
