US Authorities Start Arresting Those Indicted In Black Friday Coup

The man hunt begins!!!

http://www.tightpoker.com/news/us-au...day-coup-2443/

"The US federal government has nabbed Ira Rubin, one of the 11 people associated with the world?s largest online poker rooms Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, and Absolute Poker who are indicted with multiple crimes such as money laundering, illegal online gambling, and bank fraud, among others. Rubin was arrested in Guatemala...."

To me the US is spending millions of dollars on the chance of getting a return of $3 billion. Who is gambling now? Why not just collect a steady stream of tax dollars on online poker, like many other countries do every day? Would be nice to have a brick and mortar card room right now i bet there are a lot of people needing a fix!
