Trouble in Costa Rica?

[chilidog]

I'm hearing some rumors about some stuff going down here in Costa Rica. Seems like the big bad USA is flexing it's muscles again.

[The Prick]

seen some shit on canal 7 last night, hearin some rumors today but nothin firm yet. gonna make some calls, mosta these forum posters got connections just ask em

[pavyracer]

That's why I cashed out all my accounts until further notice. Got a tip from an insider last month.

[JerseyLove]

Yea I got a few calls last night about it. I withdrew all my eggs. Big news coming.

[Fishhead]

Calls from who?

What can the U.S. do specifically with Costa Rica???

What can the U.S. do specifically with Costa Rica???

Plenty. It certainly won't be the first time that they've come here and just taken Americans back to the states, or just shutdown a sportsbook. Costa Rica drops to its' knees and does whatever the states tells 'em to do.

The us likes to tax you on every penny. Money being transferred offshore is ultimately un taxed money. Get it now

[ttrace35]

What about jamaica. Is this gonna affect thegreek?

[chilidog]

I haven't heard anything about jamaica.

I dont see why more nations use the WTO to fight american policies, Antigua is taking the seizure of domain names to the World Trade Organization. They are claiming the U.S. is violating WTO agreements by seizing the domain names of companies that are not even American companies. Antigua has beat the US before by going to the WTO.

[chilidog]

So what? If the US ignores the WTO's rulings, then what good does it do?

What are the five largest or most popular sportsbetting sites based in Costa Rica?

Might not be sportsbook related....possibly poker related? A few of the poker owners that were indicted last month do show Costa Rica as their residence.

Thanks for the tip.

If you are an American operating a sportbook in Costa Rica...you better run, preferably a cave.

To Support Pavy.....ALL sportsbooks engaged in the same activities (specifically violated UIGEA by conducting financial transactions in such a manner to appear to not violate the law) as FT, UB, etc. I'd pull my funds as well.

I hear that, but he always seems to be in the know, never gets screwed...always wins.

So what, you call him to place bets?

HIGHLY ILLEGAL

[chilidog]

I do know that employees of Absolute Poker and 2 other poker sites no longer have jobs. They went into work yesterday, only to find out that they no longer have a job. I don't know if the states actually closed the local offices. I just know that everybody was fired, and that the boys in blue were visiting from the land of the free, home of the brave.

I haven't heard about anything related to the sportsbook industry.

[blackbeSSt]

what next? ip tracking back to the states and the fbi knocking on all our doors that used the books
