How about this for being a hypocrite, everyone in Antigua & Barbuda (A&B) whom were able to buy land(s), build house(s), buy car(s), shop at EPICUREAN, and send their children to private schools from being direct or indirect employed in the OFF-SHORE GAMING industry in A&B should turn over all assets to the United States (US) Internal Revenue Service (IRS) forthwith. All parasites whom benefited from being associated with anyone who were directly or indirectly employed in the OFF-SHORE GAMING industry in A&B should encourage them to do so..."Guiltines s press pon dem conscience"...t he late great Sir Hon. Bob Marley sing dat...Aru hush de 'hole bunch ah aru a hypocrites...Ah dat me JahMa say

The hardest thing in the world is to know, any when you don't know you just don't know. Many of you will never know and appreciate the full story of SOS. Some of you are talking like insiders but are truly on the outside. SOS though dead by the actions of the infidels will still live on. GO FIGURE!!!!!

I think you are missing the point. I never once questioned the legitimacy or legality of his business. I am looking at the impact and cost to Antigua, that is all. I do know one thing, not from personal experience, but from seeing what it has done to some friends associates, and that is when the IRS comes after you it can be worse than a swarm of African Killer Bees. So, since he is required to pay taxes and whether his sister filed incorrectly or not; which I believe she, like many wealthy Americans, intentionally try to deceive the IRS to maximize their returns, is another issue for the courts to decide and not us. So I say let him go and straighten it out. Is that wrong?

Morris so while they are deporting him we may as well stop by (just listing 3 of the 12 ) www.wsex, www.intertops.com, www.bodog.com and tell them it time to leave, refund them the yearly 75K us sportsbook license and yearly 50K usd casino license, and a US agent is waiting for them in Puerto Rico . The others companies are listed on the Antigua offshore gaming website url
http://www.antiguagaming.gov.ag/licensees active.asp.Perh aps we may even be willing to give back the 3 percent tax on their Net Win that we take as taxes.

I say extradite him and let him face the music, because Antigua has enough problem on its hands certainly needs to contribute the efforts and resources it will expend engaging in a legal battle with the US to solving its own problems (social, economic, international image, etc).

**audrey** » 2010-10-07 04:49

the operated a business that was licensed in Antigua. why should we extradite him. i bet he likes our passport now. he is a ** , he has no respect for our laws typical American. but don't extradite him

There are still a very few sports betting operations in Antigua left. Bob was one of the first to be licenses by the government employing man locals at his sportsbook. He is also a citizen of antigua and should be fully protected by the AG people aka government. They added all those other charges ontop of what hey see as illegal gamlbing so they might have a chance to extradite him.

The USA is not Antigua's friend.. They have been screwing this country for years ... They are the biggest hypocrites around as well, they say to CHINA.. Stop doing this and this or we will slap you with trade sanctions. WEll guess what.. They are screwing Antigua the same way on internet gambling the same way.. The only difference is China is stong enough economically and militarily to tell the US " That dont go so!"

Antiguan Abroad, the charges all tie back to his activity in Antigua which he had an Antiguan license to carry out. I read the boston globe story and it made it clear that US taxes were paid, the issue however was how it was declared. The Us claims it should have been declared as proceeds of illegal gambling instead of commissions. Read the boston globe story, it gives more details

for those interested in getting some more information on this story (though not the complete picture) it can be found at the Boston Globes site direct url:

Tenman,

From this article, it appears that "operating an illegal gambling business" is only one of five counts against the gentleman. Even if we assume that the money laundering and gambling charges are related (and therefore not illegal under Antiguan law, as you imply), what about the other charges? Is it unreasonable to expect the gentleman to face these charges before a jury of his peers?

Why did all these racketeers, **s, vagabonds, shysters and thieves flock to antigua in the 70's, 80's and 90's ??? Because they felt at home, they were among their own kind, and we wonder why antigua is seen as a pariah. Reap what you sow my brethren, reap what you sow.

**tenman** » 2010-10-07 00:21

yt in addition from reading the story in the Observer newspaper his taxes were paid in the US by his sister. Their issue it was classified as commissions instead of proceeds from illegal gambling.

Tenman is 110% correct. Antigua (amongs other places) have encouraged offshore gambling companies to set up here. How can anybody justify extraditing this guy back to the States. He single-handedly paid a lot of money via taxation and licensing into Antiguan coffers. The Americans are **ed that THEY couldn't get their hands on that money!

**tenman** » 2010-10-06 23:44

Morris the guy ran a licensed online gaming company in Antigua that the US considered illegal. If you take a read of our budget statements you will see that they encouraged operations like his. The US feels that any moneys the man made via operating a sportsbook/gami ng company in Antigua are proceeds from an illegal activity (affecting their citizens). Try and recall that we took the US to the WTO on these issues. Morris what do you think Cort meant by this statement in the 2004 budget
"Madam Speaker, we also expect to derive increased returns from our international financial and gaming sectors as we seek to harness their full potential. "

If Stanford had made it home. he would have been enjoying sunshine instead of gray skye's of Houston. Antigua is a great place to hideout just pay the right person

**Morris** » 2010-10-06 22:18

If this guy is still in Antigua the gov't should extradite him back to the US to face the music?
