GONZALES GONE
31 August 2007
Will the online gambling industry miss the ex-US
Attorney General?
The US enforcement arm's top official, US Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales has finally bowed to pressure
and resigned from his post after several national issues
surrounding his responsibilities.
Seen by many as the bete noir of the online gambling
industry as the head of agencies that have caused
significant damage to the industry's business ambitions
in the United States, Gonzales was at one stage reported
to have promised anti-online gambling politician Arizona
Senator Jon Kyl that he would do everything in his power
to ensure the demise of online gambling.
His agencies have apparently tried to live up to that
undertaking, arresting online gambling executives
travelling or passing through the USA and wreaking
substantial business and financial damage on
international companies and investors involved in the
business.
US press reports claim that Gonzales submitted his
resignation to President Bush last Friday, but the
announcement was held until after the weekend.
At press time there had been no comment from the
President, or indication as to possible successors.
