An Interesting Situation

Recently, two Canadian citizens have been arrested while changing planes in New
York City, for doing something that is not illegal in Canada, Their business in based in the Isle of Man. They allowed Americans to use their
financial services company, to transfer money to online
poker sites. The name of their company was NETeller.
It is an American law that prohibits this. It was Americans who used
NETeller for this purpose.
Two Canadians, with an international
business based in the Isle of Man, have been arrested because of it.
I have posted about this in the past about online poker sites.





Imagine travelling in a foreign country, for doing something in your home coutry that is illegal there. You have not committed "the crime" in this country.You are there long enough to get onto another plane, but later surrounded by police officers and arrest you.
You are now on your way to a foreign prison and to be tried in foreign courts.
I have a prior post reguarding the ban on online casinos and that can be found here
