It's not what I think. The argument that sports betting is legal because it involves skill would be a nice topic for a debate hosted by William F. Buckley. As a defense strategy against multiple federal felonies it's pure suicide. No chance. Kaplan better jump bail before this thing goes to trial. He's looking at 15-20 years with Jerkowitz as his lawyer. Guess who was Mike Tyson's lead lawyer when he got convicted for rape? Jerkowitz is a flamboyant, verbose, articulate blowhard.
