View: We all instinctually know it is true that not everything in poker is above board, but I think some people do not grasp the depth of corruption there is out there in the gambling world still. Especially out of Las Vegas. The online poker community has been caught up in a turf war, and we the players are the victims. It is really amazing the conclusions you can come to from reading between the lines. How is it that the DOJ backed off RICO claims and have yet to indict those in FTP responsible for all of this, and how they are treating UB/AB with kid gloves? I have an idea...

This battle has never been about morality. That is just one of the many excuses used to wage war on online gambling. Las Vegas didn't press the issue when times were good, but since the economy collapsed they have been leaning on people to take back some territory they feel they should be able to control.
