#2the action of luring an individual into committing a crime in order to prosecute the person for it.
So tell me - why are drug/prostitution stings not entrapment.
If you were on the initial CW email list that asked you to sign up, you're probably fine.
If you just wandered there on your own, then its no different from trying to pickup a cop who is posing as a prostitute.Comment -

#5No matter how we look at the guy, it looks like the Bureau is trying really hard to crackdown offshore gaming instead of concentrating on Bin Laden goons.Comment -

#8I hate the way American law enforcement works into other nations business.
Follow this logic of an American bettor betting with a Costa Rican bookmaker. It is not illegal for an American to place a bet online like sham said. The Feds consider it a crime to be a bookmaker though. However these bookmakers are located in other countries where the feds should have no authority. The only thing being done in America is placing of a bet online (not illegal). The taking of the bet is being done in a country where it is legal. Therefore the Feds should have no case.
What the Feds are doing is mind boggling to me. Why waste resources on this? Why is it so important? Go to a Gamblers Anonymous meeting and half the people there are there because of state sponsored lotteries and SCRATCH OFF TICKETS. Also horse racing is legal. Also if you happen to live in Nevada you can bet on sports with all your money all day long and its fine. Its just retarted I despise the hypocrisy and stupidness of it all.Comment -

#9I don't think they are their to bust individual gamblers, but shut down the financial processing method from the states going in and out the Caribbean islands. For them to do this, it might be better to have an informant actually on site. Basically, doing it the same way they do with a narcotic hustler who are given deals after getting caught.
This could be damage control.. not sure

#14The American Feds are doing what I said regardless of whether the story at EOG is true or not. How many foreign based bookmakers have they put in jail or made to pay massive fines? A lot. Neteller, Jay Cohen, etc. etc.
Jay Cohen even commented in that thread that the story could very well be true. In my opinion its 50/50 chance that its true or not. It definately wouldn't surprise me to find it out to be true.Comment -

#16Being at the book could give them another vantage point to look at US agents, processing, and money laundering but being there alone isn't going to take down a book or its players. The legality of placing an online bet or taking one in another country is undefined.Comment -
