I don't believe you understand what I am saying. I am not saying the U.S. have jurisdiction because Hamilton now lives in the U.S. I am saying they can argue jurisdiction by arguing that the crime occurred in the U.S. because Hamilton and his victims were both in the U.S. at the time Hamilton committed the crime.
It is my understanding that at the time Hamilton committed the crime he was in the U.S. and at least some of the victims were in the U.S. The perpetrator and the victims were both located in the U.S. and playing poker on their computers when the crime occurred. Of course Hamilton was using the internet to commit the crime. He stole money in cyberspace while sitting at a desk in the U.S. Where does the internet occur? At the time of the crime the relevant individuals (criminal actor and victims) were in the U.S., the poker site servers were in Canada, the corporation that owns the poker site is incorporated in Antigua and Barbuda. Where do you say the crime occurred?
And that 14th time denied claim thing was brought up in court by the lawyer for the party that the statement was directed at to make the company that issued the statement look bad. You just did it to yourself.
