<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> As Adrian McPherson was being tried on gambling charges in Tallahassee last summer, Eduardo Agami sat in his palm-tree shaded office in Costa Rica, wondering how the case would affect his Internet betting company, SBG Global. In 1998, federal prosecutors indicted Miami gambler David Budin and his son, Steven, for running SDB Global, which later became SBG. Federal authorities prosecuted Budin under federal anti-gambling statutes because, while SDB Global was incorporated in Costa Rice, it was based in Miami. He pleaded guilty and was fined $750,000.
The original SDB was one of the first sites to do business in Costa Rica and the Budins were high fliers, taking big action and cutting big figures. But the Clinton Administration was determined to make an example of them. After David pleaded guilty to violating a 1961 Wire Communcations Act that bars using wire communications to place bets, Attorney General Janet Reno declared, "The Internet is not an electronic sanctuary for electronic betting."
Trouble is, no one seems to have gotten the e-mail.

Good one, Blue Edwards.
SunDevil...McCain might think this helps his betting ban bill, but the fact remains that it has nothing to do with the sports books in Nevada (that he is going after). Nevada's argument is that McCain and the NCAA need to concentrate their efforts on the campuses, which is where the real danger lies in harming the integrity of college sports. Banning legal betting in Nevada will have zero effect on cases like these.
