Coming back and registering under new names did absolutely nothing to help your cause. threatening lawsuits is a waste of time. Contact your attorney, and explain how you got suitcases full of money running illegal gambling sites while probably still under probation.
Nick has explained that since poker has an element of skill, it is exempt from the UIGEA. I did a search, and found some scholarly writings supporting this conclusion. However, scholarly writings are little more than speculation.
Until the courts make a ruling on this aspect, it will remain speculation.
I'm sure that the gambling sites assured Nick (and other suckers) that the element of skill exempted poker. I'm sure they provided documents and quotes from lawyers supporting this position.
As for his conviction concerning the girl he nailed, his defense here has essentially been, "she may have been 15, but she looked older and she even had a fake ID."
His "defense" for any gambling charges will boil down to "it may have been illegal, but it looked legal and they even had lame documents." This defense will work just as well as the first.
Nick, you need to knock it off before someone drops a dime on your stupid ass and finds an investigator or a prosecutor looking to make a name for himself.
There are miles of Carolina Blacksnake hungry for your butt, and they will not hesitate to crawl up it . . . six inches at a time.
