Re:reply from Congressman McCotter (R) from Michigan
when people make money in the stock market there is a paper trail moron. Many countries dont even tax gambling earnings ie...canada so the only records of habib's big score is habib and the poker site in which he won it. My congressman wrote a reply to the letter that I had sent him and all it talks about is terrorism and the international transfer of funds. This is why it will more than likely never be made legal. Literally every country would all have to be on the same page monitoring the large transactions of funds changing hands internationally, everyday.

Re:reply from Congressman McCotter (R) from Michigan
everything you listed has nothing to do with why poker was banned on the internet in the US Kasilof. The 1 and only reason it was banned is because of the international transfer of funds. 1 terrorist in New York city goes heads up in a $2-4 no-limit internet poker room with his buddy in afghanistan and transfers 100 grand over in a 30 minute session. Any transfer of money over 10000 dollars inside or outside of the US automatically goes to homeland security along with your drivers license information so they can record how much you send-how often-and to whom it is being sent.
