Sure... suspect that is the case KRL - also may not be unrelated to the WTO ruling (above). It took less than 48 hours after David's arrest to have a further WTO hearing and independent enquiry into why the US has not fulfulled it's obligations under GATS. A time period of 90 days has been allowed for completion of this enquiry.

That $4.5 bill is sure not going to come from any UK public company KRL. BOS plc does not owe any taxation to the US and has no business base there.

Sounds like you are referring to Kaplan who was the original founder of BOS? Sure, he is a US citizen and is most likely liable for US taxation at one point. He is still resident in Costa Rica operating prob one of the largest gaming corps in the world and earning more money than all of GFY together, - but members of his family have been arrested - some in Florida. It may be possible to access some of Gary Kaplan's assets. Little doubts there will be the usual extradition requests, but doubt the govt here are going to pass over any Kaplan assets (they have a habit of going nowhere )

BOS is now a UK company, BOS plc, and the prime officer is David who is a UK citizen. BOS has no business base in the US - only in the UK, Antigua and Costa Rica, but with gaming licenses in.. not sure exactly now, but over 60 other countries.
