标题: 美国联邦FBI可能在调查全倾斜扑克
本周国外扑克网站报告美国FBI可能在调查世界第二大网络扑克室全倾斜扑克Full Tilt Poker。有网站指出,FBI联系了几名华盛顿州的扑克玩家。看起来是调查公司的支付处理业务。

  很明显,这不是什么新鲜事。去年夏天,美国冻结了Account Services公司的银行账户,指控老板Douglas Rennick洗钱和欺骗银行。在这个案件的法律文件当中,提到了全倾斜扑克。

  全倾斜扑克最大的问题是它们公开宣称几名职业扑克玩家居住在美国,并且是公司的股东。这违反了目前的网络扑克法律。

那些冠军,很张扬,政府如果真查起来,他们也挺麻烦的。

  我还是先把钱都取走,先不打FTP。资金安全最重要。

  FTP 最近是非常怪,也许真会出问题,据说反水代理,佣金将降到3%。

今天的一个坏消息,美国金融时报的新闻
Full Tilt Poker全速扑克,因为洗钱,被美国政府调查。
美国政府同时在调查4家扑克室,包括Absolute Poker, Bodog, Full Tilt, and PokerStars。
奉劝大家在PS, FTP, AP, BODOG 这4家扑克室上不要留太多钱。应该把大部分钱取回家,才放心。
当年NETELLER 被美国查封 N 多钱,教训!!!
Howard Lederer,Chris Ferguson 太张狂了,我早就担心他们出事。
下面是Google自动 翻译,很差,凑合着能看懂,

根据金融时报,全速扑克,世界第二大的在线扑克网站,现正对洗钱的指控进行调查。 “联邦大陪审团在纽约曼哈顿”已接手此案。

文章,这是周一公布的金融时报记者在旧金山的部分内容如下,“一个联邦在曼哈顿大陪审团正在调查最大的互联网扑克牌为美国赌徒的网站之一,并可能带来对一些起诉书世界上最好的知名的专业选手,根据人与案件和证人发出传票本周一熟悉。“两扑克挑出球员霍华德莱德勒和克里斯弗格森,他被带到光民事诉讼具有所有权去年姓名股份公司。

此外莱德勒和弗格森,团队的其他成员包括全速扑克2009(讲习班)主赛11月9个会员菲尔艾维,2008年世界扑克锦标赛主赛欧洲冠军约翰Juanda的,非凡的筹款珍哈曼和“扑克边缘”主机菲尔戈登世界大赛。金融时报没有名字除了莱德勒和弗格森作为目前在参与调查的人。

据称磨练联邦特工已经在关于洗钱的指控。在他们的意义,金融时报说,“洗钱的指控可能有吸引力的,因为他们将迫使政府即使在国家的合作从当局那里赌博是合法的。”发出传票的案件据称声称,互联网赌博在美国是非法的国家,许多业内人士的声明将不同意。

金融时报埃里克杰克逊的律师谈过,谁是代表一个单独的民事案弗格森和莱德雷尔。杰克逊告诉新闻媒体,“我们不会对投机性大陪审团的调查意见,就是我们不知道。”也有人指出赌博反应和法律专家一纳尔逊玫瑰,谁告诉时报“[联邦政府]发动战争恫吓。有没有一个良好的法规很多,所以他们在高知名度的目标,并去试图恐吓大家。“

全速扑克是业内第二大网站,仅落后于交通扑克之星。在线扑克室都愉快地接受美国球员。全速扑克拥有的16400真钱游戏的玩家圈7天的平均运行据PokerScout.com,而扑克之星举办了近一倍,总29,800。 Full Tilt Poker的交通已暴涨44%,较去年同期,而扑克之星'了29%,如雨后春笋般在同一时间段。

谣传的调查是在美国政府最新的行业镇压事件。最近,在美国马里兰州当局寻求资金的民事没收的在线扑克玩家注定。没收了4个文件的在线扑克网站 - 绝对扑克,博多格,全速,和扑克之星 - 和电荷说,“上述地点都在博彩或在马里兰州从事违法投注单。”

该非法互联网赌博执行法案(UIGEA)于2006年通过的敦促下,当时的参议院多数党领袖比尔弗里斯特(的R - TN)的。 2009年,第三巡回上诉法院裁定,UIGEA没有作出任何网上活动是非法的。相反,网上赌博的合法性可能最终取决于国家的法律。该线法,在1961年获得通过,也适用于传统的在线体育赌注,并没有正式更新,包括网上赌博。

这不是第一次全速扑克已在炎热的11.18。在2月中旬,一提起诉讼的扑克亲Clonie戈温声称在全速1%的所有权被驳回。最近解雇了调查,涉及在失败的电视连续剧“联邦调查局面对王牌”的中心,对版权的侵犯。去年12月,向法院递交诉讼机器人拉里“pokergirl Z”的肯尼迪和格雷格Omotoy达成了新的转折时,原告律师赛勒斯三爱背景提出了质疑。此案最初是在10月提出,并引用诈骗影响的舞弊组织(RICO)条款法。

全速的域名是在肯塔基州受到威胁,如果国家的司法和公共安全内阁检获141个互联网赌博的网址,包括那些属于明星扑克和扑克绝对权利。全速扑克已采取措施以保持英国在法庭上的域名,但仍受到FullTiltPoker.com名称标识在正在进行的法律行动。

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.pokernewsdaily.com/full-tilt-poker-reportedly-investigated-by-grand-jury-9520/">http://www.pokernewsdaily.com/full-tilt ... jury-9520/</a><!-- m -->

According to the Financial Times newspaper, Full Tilt Poker, the world’s second largest online poker site, is being investigated on money laundering charges. A “federal grand jury in Manhattan” had taken up the case.
The article, which was published on Monday by a Financial Times reporter in San Francisco, read in part, “A federal grand jury in Manhattan is investigating one of the largest internet poker sites serving U.S. gamblers and could bring indictments against some of the world's best known professional players, according to people familiar with the case and a subpoena issued to a witness this week.” Two poker players singled out are Howard Lederer and Chris Ferguson, whose names were brought to light in a civil suit last year as having an ownership stake in the company.
Besides Lederer and Ferguson, other members of Team Full Tilt include 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event November Nine member Phil Ivey, 2008 WSOP Europe Main Event winner John Juanda, fundraiser extraordinaire Jennifer Harman, and “Poker Edge” host Phil Gordon. The Financial Times did not name anyone besides Lederer and Ferguson as being involved in the investigation.
Federal agents have purportedly honed in on money laundering charges. On their significance, the Financial Times explains, “Money laundering charges might be attractive to the government as they would compel cooperation from authorities even in countries where gambling is legal.” Subpoenas issued in the case allegedly claim that internet gambling is illegal in the United States, a statement many industry insiders would disagree with.
The Financial Times spoke to attorney Eric Jackson, who is representing Ferguson and Lederer in a separate civil case. Jackson told the news outlet, "We are not going to comment about a speculative grand jury investigation that we are not aware of." Also reacting was noted gambling and the law expert I. Nelson Rose, who told the Times, "[The Federal Government is] waging this war of intimidation. There are not a lot of good statutes, so they go after high-profile targets and try to intimidate everybody."
Full Tilt Poker is the industry’s second largest site, trailing only PokerStars in traffic. Both online poker rooms happily accept players from the United States. Full Tilt Poker boasts a seven-day running average of 16,400 real money ring game players according to PokerScout.com, while PokerStars hosts nearly double that total at 29,800. Full Tilt Poker’s traffic has skyrocketed 44% year over year, while PokerStars’ has mushroomed by 29% over the same time period.
The rumored investigation is the latest event in a U.S. Government crackdown of the industry. Recently, authorities in Maryland sought a civil forfeiture of funds destined for online poker players. The forfeiture documents single out four online poker sites – Absolute Poker, Bodog, Full Tilt, and PokerStars – and charge that “the above-mentioned sites all have engaged in betting or wagering in violation of Maryland law.”
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was passed in 2006 at the urging of then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN). In 2009, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the UIGEA did not make any online activity illegal. Instead, the legality of internet gambling may ultimately depend on state law. The Wire Act, passed in 1961, has traditionally applied to online wagers on sports and has not been formally updated to encompass internet wagering.
This isn’t the first time that Full Tilt Poker has been in the hot seat. In mid-February, a suit filed by poker pro Clonie Gowen claiming 1% ownership in Full Tilt was dismissed. Recently dismissed was an investigation involving the FBI over the failed television series “Face the Ace” that centers on copyright infringement. In December, a bot lawsuit filed by Lary “pokergirl z” Kennedy and Greg Omotoy reached a new twist when the background of plaintiff lawyer Cyrus Sanai was questioned. The case was originally filed in October and cites the Racketeer-Influenced Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act.
Full Tilt’s domain name is being threatened in Kentucky, where the state’s Justice and Public Safety Cabinet seized the rights to 141 internet gambling URLs, including those belonging to PokerStars and Absolute Poker. Full Tilt Poker has taken steps to preserve its domain name in a U.K. court, but FullTiltPoker.com is still identified by name in the ongoing legal action.

这里可能有一些对美国司法程序的误解,这里其实没有任何实质性的东西。

自2006年美国颁布UIGEA以来,网络牌室的最大赢家就是PS和FTP。当时的老大partypoker离开美国市场,才落到今天这个境地。比较令人郁闷的是,这个法案一直没有明确的解释,直到2009年美国第三上诉巡回法庭裁决,这个法案并不会让网上赌博变为非法。于是网络赌博的合法性就由州法律而不是联邦法律来裁决了。这也是为什么最近一年,从加州到佛州都在酝酿州提案使得网上赌博合法化,并通过监管获利。

事实上,partypoker也在一直寻求重回美国市场的机会。
