    DOJ : ALL internet gambling is illegal

    http://fortune.com/2019/01/15/online...g-illegal-doj/

    The U.S. Justice Department now says that all internet gambling is illegal.

    A November opinion made public Monday reversed a 2011 opinion on the Wire Act, which established the law as applicable to only sports betting. The DOJ claims that the 2011 opinion misinterpreted the statute and reinterprets the Wire Act to encompass all forms of gambling that crosses state boundaries.

    GOP megadonor and casino mogul Sheldon Adelson backed a coalition that had long lobbied the Justice Department to reconsider its 2011 decision.

    Looks like they figured out how to work under the commodities market rules to not be considered illegal online gambling.

    Guess who the VT conservatives have been blaming this on... almost seem like Roger Waters articles but they are not.
