DOJ Online Gaming Sites

[P.V.]

With the recent news of the DOJ running an online payment processing company utilized by several gaming sites, what's to keep them from operating an online casino, or poker site etc.?

Does anyone think it's happening online now?

If so who could be the DOJ casino and if not why couldn't this happen per recent events unfolding?

Not sure they would really want to. Firstly, online gambling isn't illegal at a Federal level despite the mainstream media commonly mis-reporting that it is, so punters in most States aren't breaking the law.

Secondly, the PR surrounding arresting players, US citizens, for gambling online would probably be seen as representative of a repressive society and anyway, if it's not illegal, what grounds would they have?

Finally, it's pretty well accepted I think that many States *want* regulated online gambling to help them recover from recession and to send out the message that online gambling is illegal would ultimately undo all the good (depending on your perspective) work the DOJ are doing trying to clear the foreign operators out of the space ahead of the US businesses coming online.

If the DOJ or US Govt ran a gambling website, they would be bankrupt in 3 months, fing idiots cant do anything right.

Funny, cant gamble online but crack dealers run rampant in some of our cities. If they would put all this effort into the war on terrorism or the war on drugs we would live in a great country.

Ruby RidgeFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
Ruby Ridge was the site of a violent confrontation and siege in northern Idaho in 1992. It involved Randy Weaver, his family, Weaver's friend Kevin Harris, and agents of the United States Marshals Service and Federal Bureau of Investigation. It resulted in the death of Weaver's son Sammy, his wife Vicki, and Deputy US Marshal Francis Degan.

At the subsequent federal criminal trial of Weaver and Harris, Weaver's attorney Gerry Spence made accusations of wrongdoing against every agency involved in the incident: the ATF, the USMS, the USAO for Idaho, and the FBI. At the completion of the trial, the DOJ OPR formed a Ruby Ridge Task Force to investigate Spence's charges; the June 10, 1994 Task Force report was released in redacted form by Lexis Counsel Connect and raised questions with the conduct and policy of all the agencies.

Public outcry over Ruby Ridge and the subsequent Waco Siege involving many of the same agencies and even same personnel fueled the widening of the militia movement. To answer public questions about Ruby Ridge, the Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Government Information held a total of fourteen days of hearings between September 6 and October 19, 1995 and subsequently issued a report calling for reforms in federal law enforcement to prevent a repeat of Ruby Ridge and to restore public confidence in federal law enforcement.

I disagree.

It's not the players they're after - those al-qaeda backed poker rooms and taliban-owned sportsbooks are the evil-doers here.

It would be political suicide to go after the punter and they know it....after all someone who spends $100 a week can hardly be framed as a money launderer.

Anyway, we are all just usernames discussing stuff and there's nothing criminal about that, and I doubt there's anything we know that they don't already.

This sounds extremely logical.
