The point about vman's citizenship was related to his legal defense of the casino industry---did he pay his taxes on bragged-about ill-gotten gains from illegal online poker site????
Also a gray area related to one of webman's online gambling linking rules'

The fact I had ~$10000 in my account doesn't necessarily mean I was a net winner. But I actually was, and yes I paid taxes on it to be on the "safe side". And I really could use that cash I paid then now though...Ugh.

And it's been reported in the past that Ivey borrowed from Full Tilt, some crap that definitely should never have been allowed.

And I am definitely not a casino shill. But I do think neither side deserves to cheat the other. I just want fair games for players.

I wouldn't either, but if they lost, wouldn't shock me if they would have tightened it. That's a couple of weeks of revenue...lol
