Government indicts 3 online poker sites on fraud charges Posted: 15 Apr 2011 02:44 PM PDT Tax day — which is today, in case you forgot — is the day to hate the government the most. Which means it’s also a good time to go ahead and hop online and blow off some steam by playing online poker. Until today anyway — the government just seized five online poker domains, including UB.com, PokerStars.com, and FullTiltPoker.com and charged the guys who run three companies (Full Tilt Poker, Pokers Stars and Absolute Poker) with fraud. "As charged, these defendants concocted an elaborate criminal fraud scheme, alternately tricking some U.S. banks and effectively bribing others to assure the continued flow of billions in illegal gambling profits," said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. "Moreover, as we allege, in their zeal to circumvent the gambling laws, the defendants also engaged in massive money laundering and bank fraud. Foreign firms that choose to operate in the United States are not free to flout the laws they don't like simply because they can't bear to be parted from their profits." Sigh. Should we be excited, the government’s spending money chasing down people who are robbing idiots out of the money they’re handing to the internet in order to play a game of chance? I say no, in the same way that no one could have possibly been excited about the outcome of the Barry Bonds trial — there’s a massive disagreement in Washington, D.C. right now about how to balance the budget. This exists because our government is in a whole heap-load of debt. There’d still be a problem budgeting if we weren’t in debt, of course, but things become much more contentious when you don’t have enough money. And one of the reasons we don’t have enough money is that we’re throwing piles of it away at things that the people of America don’t give two craps about. To wit: the guys who ran Wall Street into the ground weren’t being pursued for “fraud,” or at least not like this. They were given golden parachutes with which to glide over foreclosed homes and poop nickels on our heads just for fun. Also: the Bonds thing. TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS were spent chasing down an obvious steroid user in an attempt to nail him for perjury, only to see him get “busted” on obstruction of justice (don’t even get me started on how ridiculous this is — he just didn’t answer a question directly). Fraud’s no good and I’m all for the government stopping the people who defrauding people. But this is ONLINE GAMBLING. What was anyone who engaged in this expecting? If you hop online and lose enough money on online blackjack that you can’t afford to pay your mortgage this month, that’s not you getting defrauded by some rich jerk who happens to trade on one of society’s favorite vices, that’s just Darwinism taking hold. And of course this all happens on the day in which many of us spend freaking out about money owed to the government. Money which, I’m sure, they’ll find a fantastic and totally efficient use for spending. DOJ Charges Three Major Online Poker Sites With Fraud – [Bluff Magazine] |
VIDEO: Fastest soccer goal ever? Posted: 15 Apr 2011 02:09 PM PDT This goal comes to us via the Portuguese fifth tier league. In other words, a bunch of guys in their 30s thinking they can still become the next Luis Figo. What, you didn’t think I knew my Portuguese soccer stars? Anyways, this chap’s name is Carlos Almeida and he wisely catches the opposing goalkeeper off-guard with this strike right as the whistle blows for the beginning of the game. It’s a hell of a shot regardless of time in the game but made even more impressive because of the precise placement it takes. Well that, and it makes the goalie look like a dumbass.

VIDEO: Best man eschews words for ‘Time of My Life’ dancing toast Posted: 15 Apr 2011 02:08 PM PDT At least 75 percent of wedding toasts are absolutely lame/cheesy/etc. Another 10 percent are vulgarly offensive enough that someone’s grandmother cries. And another 12.5 percent are hysterical. But what about that last 2.5 percent? Well, that’s where “Rivas” — a best man who’s likely to have gone viral by this time next week — comes in. See, Rivas, in doing his toast at a destination wedding, pointed out how lame so many of the world’s wedding toasts are, and then proceeded to bust out the most aggressive and awkward dance to “Time of My Life” (stupid dance version) that’s ever existed. As you can see, Rivas isn’t some guy with rhythm, soul, etc. He’s a stocky white dude with a goatee whose dance moves would make Mark Madsen proud. And he uses them to shred his way into the hearts of everyone at the rehearsal dinner. As Jimmy Traina pointed out, warning: his date, who appears to be filming this, is a touch annoying. But not as annoying as a boring wedding toast. Note to the gentlemen involved in the upcoming Brinson wedding: if you can convince a certain groomsman whose name begins with a “Z” and ends with an “eke” to do this instead of saying something that will cause my grandfather to disown me, I’m all bouty-bouty. |
Francesca Chillemi is one beautiful Italian Posted: 15 Apr 2011 01:35 PM PDT The first time I ever saw Francesca Chillemi I was blown away by her beauty but I hadn’t seen her any time since. Thankfully the folks at Maxim Italy (how’d you like to work there?) rediscovered the former Miss Italy and put her in a bathtub, sporting many handbras and once again I am blown away. I have no idea how Miss Italy doesn’t win Miss Universe every year. I mean, they’re Italian – the hottest of the hot in Italy. Other than Brazil how could the hottest woman from any other country beat them? Oh, the talent portion. Right. I forgot about that. I think I’m going to start a new pageant based strictly on hotness and screw all this talking, thinking, talent crap. Just as soon as I take a nap. |
Kareena Kapoor is a true professional in Bollywood Posted: 15 Apr 2011 05:39 PM PDT The hot star Kareena Kapoor is a true professional. This was the talk making rounds in the Bollywood circuit after hearing this news. It is heard that Bebo has gone ahead and adhered to her dates with the project under the direction of Reema Kagti which were already committed. In this process, she has not been able to give dates to Agent Vinod, the home production of beau Saif Ali Khan. Apparently, Bebo had committed those dates long back and could not switch them. For now, the team would be waiting, as per sources.
