Excerpts from the N.Y. times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/business/22gaming.html?_r=3&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin "The Justice Department has issued subpoenas to at least four Wall Street investment banks as part of a widening investigation into the multibillion-dollar online gambling industry, according to people briefed on the investigation." "Unable to go directly after the casinos, which are based overseas, they have sought to prosecute the operations’ American partners, marketing arms and now, possibly, investors." “It appears that the Department of Justice is waging a war of intimidation against Internet gambling,” said I. Nelson Rose, a professor of law at Whittier Law School in Costa Mesa, Calif., who is an expert on Internet gambling law." My comments: "marketing arms and investors". Getting a little scary if you are an investor or a promoter of a gambling site. !
