    Does Ira Rubin get credit for time served? In Canada he would get 2 for 1 credit for time served and be out pretty much right now if his behavior has been good so far, or be out in 6 months if required to serve the full sentence. Not sure how U.S. law works.

    Another poster agreed: "Steal hundreds of millions and a 'severe' punishment is one guy doing 14 months. Fucking joke.
    UMMMM HELLOOOOOO! We would not have been able to play at ALL if not for these guys. It does NOt say here that they stole our money, they just fooled the banks. Until they have been proven guilty of HOLDING BACK REPAYMENT, we should hold back the hate.

    I knew it was illegal to deceive the banks… I fooled myself into thinking that what I was doing was okay."

    Oh well, why didn't ya say so before, that would make it alright to defraud banks and poker players.

    14 months is a sick joke and sadly, that joke is on you and me.

    hoo roo

    I am from england so I could play poker, legally, with or without these greedy criminals!

    I am hating on them, if they where honest I would not be out of pocket!

    So, are the people running poker sites and processing companies now (for US), any different type of people than all these guys? Is the 'R' and the 'M' network just other functioning upper echelon hussels as well?

    This is what i am worried about... Lord only knows when BOTWHELL or w/e it is gets caught.... imo its only a matter of time before R and M get shut down and we get screwed out of that money also.

    I'm not entirely sure of the answer to this. The news outlets I read made it seem like he'll get credit, but he's still only about 40% of the way through his term if he got credit.

    " "You are an unreformed conman and fraudster."What is that statement all about? It sounds like the judge convicted him of disobeying the US wire act but then sentenced him for the ponzi scheme.The judge should be under review for this sentence. JMHO
