I do agree with you that these guys will get reamed. Most people haven't read the indictment or realize how serious this is. I disagree that it will kill internet poker, if anything it might advance legislation to move forward to grab those tax dollars. The USA can't afford to continue letting people off with out paying their taxes, one way or another the tax man is gonna get ya.

I had hoped, dreaming I know, that countries would all work together and allow online poker to be global instead of this country to country, and state to state rules. By NOT having online poker world wide on the internet the sharks will run out of fish, smaller sites will squeeze out margins in rake which will dry up the pond.
