Since many legal folks on these forums feel like the bank fraud charge is the most damaging, I guess UB/AP believe they can fight this legally.
That being said, UB/AP provide blackjack and other casino games.
I guess I'm trying to remain positive but the more time passes by without a clear statement from Paul or anybody from UB management, the more ****ed we are.
This is actually incorrect. Count 8: Conspiracy to Commit Bank and Wire Fraud DOES include Brent Beckley (AP/UB) in the charges. The indictment tells a specific incident in which FT and PS bribed/took over a local bank that did not include AP.. However AP is still being charged with the same crimes from the setting up of fake companies, defrauding FDIC institutions etc.
If anything AP is in worse shape than PS and FT because they aren't really able to use the same "keno is a skill" argument that the other two sites may attempt to at least beat some of the other charges..
