The problem is, I don't think you get why I'm pissed.  I'm not pissed because my equity dropped by a handful of pennies, I'm pissed because promising one thing and then taking it away with no communication is a sign of major issues with the site.


When the fuck exactly did they say X krill will guarantee a krillroll of X value for the rest of eternity?

Bryan Micon, operator of the closed down bitcoin-fueled poker site Seals With Clubs, has been charged by the Nevada Attorney General with operating an unlicensed gambling enterprise, and faces up to ten years in prison and a US$50,000 fine. Interestingly enough it seems he is willing to try an unconventional and as-of-yet untested defense strategy, arguing that Bitcoin is not the same as Currency in the context of gambling law.

That would better be called a prosecutorial fail.  They managed to get Micon to plead to nearly nothing and no jail time.  Nobody brings a case like that hoping for a result like that.  Some revolutionary prosecution.

I think they bit off more than they could chew and decided to save face, knowing that it's practically impossible to refuse a no jail time plea deal even if you think you're innocent of any crime.
