You're original point was "why don't companies take a chance on America" and then in the last post you talked about online poker. Using that example, do you really think any new online poker company is going to make its home base in the USA?...

If you don't think that the shutdown wasn't orchestrated and funded by companies that make their home bases in the USA, you are deluded. The entire point was to destroy the industry so that the politically favored companies (Harrahs, etc...) can open up their own online casinos with a huge advantage.

Agreed, it was less than a week before talk of American Casino's wanting a Federal Law for Online Gambling. It is a Billion Dollar industry and that can get laws passed. The Politicians, I don't think, expected the back lash to be so brutal though. I guess they were just unaware as is usually the case that FullTilt and PokerStars was so supported by the masses.
