    Let's say you were the unfortunate recipient of a Linwood transaction? You didn't pay taxes? Would you cooperate?

      uh, lets see jail time + massive fines vs. maybe an IRS fee at the worst... hmm id pay the IRS thank you.

      With this piece of justice, it seems the Maryland agents were concerned with Maryland residents depositing and receiving payouts.... and they collared a CI to do all of this for them.

          I'm just glad poker is a game of skill rather than a game of chance. Now, if only we could get a federal court to agree.

              As people we are totally worthless and morally bankrupt if we are unable to fight these inbred tyranic GESTAPO WANNABE's

              This battle is ours my fellow men because US Constitution is on our side!

              Back off FEDS, just back the hell off before its too late and if you don't believe us just ask your fallen kamerades Hosni Mubarak or Muamar Ghaddafi about what people are capable of doing

                    According to the US government it is illegal, They never have went after a gambler yet but have gone after books and poker rooms , Jay Cohen went to jail because of it.

                            According to the US government getting people drunk, killing unborn babies, exposing 10 year olds to pornography and blowing up the Twin Towers is legal, ironic, isn't it.
