Whether the U.S. government has the technological ability to shut the site down is different than making the argument that they can't do it because they don't have jurisdiction. I have heard this argument multiple times, and I am still waiting to hear the answer to the question of what was their jurisdiction on Black Friday.
They froze all attachable assets and seized the domain names due to being US domiciled. They are no longer US websites. You can search ownership and registrar address on whois.com
Now all the sites are banking in offshore havens and/or using crypto, good luck to them trying to seize that.
FullFlush, as an example, got away with it due to being in safe havens and non tax treaty locales. The government cannot get squat from them. If you sued and were awarded a judgement...it would make for great birdcage liner, completely worthless.
If a rep was to travel to a US friendly nation, it would have to be substantial and very serious for them to arrest and arrange extradition. The downside risk is huge for them. A US citizen as a rep or consultant for an enterprise deemed illegal, like online poker or gambling, would be at risk of the full force of law enforcement, potentially even a network affiliate. There just is no way our nitwits in the government have any real power vs sites like WPN, as structured.
VGW Holdings is Global, not VGW Capital...

They're listed as a tech company and global is a legal sweepstakes company, really just to circumvent the laws here.
