But anyway.. what gives in that department? The text of the law I see quoted in all of these threads specifies only "the funding of offshore gambling accounts". |
good question
my take: it is illegal to take bets, not place them
so once your money is out there, the govt has no business keeping it away from you and restricting your ability to reclaim it
besides, they will never go after individual citizens like that (I hope)
