New twist which has me really thinking IF I want to just settle on having my bank fees returned.
I went to open a new checking account with another bank before closing all accounts where I bank at now. I was denied due to information my bank put into ChexSystem over this Prism Casino shit.
So now, do I want this settled for just the bank fees returned? Or do I want to get an attorney and have all this brought out in a court of law?
All gambling sites are based offshore on the theory that U.S. laws can't touch them since the operations are legally licensed in their countries of operation.
But as Michael Simone, president and chief executive of Interactive Gaming and Communications Corp. [IGC] in Blue Bell, Pa., discovered, an offshore Web site is not necessarily a impregnable legal defense.
In February 1997, FBI agents raided IGC, which operates the Sports International sportsbook and Global Casino, both licensed in Grenada. When they left, they took with them truckloads of documents, financial records and receipts, according to a search warrant filed in the case.
I found an Attorney in California who has taken on cases for people who made legit deposits and he won the cases, so I am thinking, if this is what I decide to do, I'll be contacting him, but will continue searching for Attornies closer to where I live.
Stress, personal loss..etc. Anything and everything applicable will be filed, if I so decide.
And then my bank will also be listed. I want to see what monies they recovered, since I was told by them, they haven't. I know better!!
They have mailed out today all information on the questionable charges, bank fees. I should receive these by this Wednesday (Oct. 01,2003), BUT when I do, I'll hang on to them til I decide what route I want to take in this matter. I also want to be removed from ChexSystem. This will also be on the suit filed, if I decide to do this.
People.. If I was asked about playing at Prism Casino I'd say, "Do Not Play At Prism Casino". IMO, any casino that is a part of the Virtual Casino Group.. BEWARE!!!!
So people, keep speaking out, take it as far as need be. Offshore gambling companies ARE reachable!!
Especially now with all that's going on inside the US government about online gambling.
Makes me want to just reverse any and all deposits ever made, as far as the time limit allows, using my bank card!!
((Ah yes, I have since found my own files on my old hard-drive))
