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."

    You can be charged with and convicted of whatever the hell the US government wants you to be, no matter who and where you are. Kinda like North Korea.

    I see Somalia could use your help - aw darn - your country doesn't give two shits about human life. All talk - and NO FUCKING ACTION. Oh but if someone get's off their asses after getting attacked it's blame the victim time. You must have great rape trials in your turf. "Your honor - the fucking whore asked for it". Oh and your numbers for the Iraqi's is about as accurate as your Holocaust denials.

    Great fucking math. Keep it up. Perhaps after you learn to count - you'll be able to do science you religious inbred fucks.

    Probably they deserve to be there, but I still doubt the legality of a lot of the siezures that came out of the Middle East prior to the USA declaring war on anyone other than a fairly nebulous concept of "terrorist groups".

    The major problem with our concentration camps is that there is no way of knowing whether or not any of the people there are actually guilty of anything. In fact, there does not exist a single reason to believe any such thing.

    So saying that they "probably" deserve what they're getting is entirely false, unless you're divulging classified information.
    There is nothing to judge probabilities of guilt or innocence of the people we're illegally and unconstitutionally holding in our various death camps around the world.
