Trei din cele mai mari site-uri de poker din lume au fost închise de FBI într-un demers care ar putea conduce la moartea industriei de jocuri online, susţine Daily Mail. 11 oameni, inclusiv proprietarii Full Tilt, Absolute Poker şi PokerStars au fost acuzaţi de fraude bancare şi spălare de bani.
În 2006, congresul american a aprobat o lege care interzice pariurile online, dar majoritatea site-urilor au găsit modalităţi de a eluda această lege folosind bănci străine. Procurorii consideră că astfel a fost încălcată legea.
“Acuzaţii, cunoscând faptul că afacerile lor cu clienţi americani, cu bănci americane, erau ilegale, au încercat să fenteze acest fapt. Au minţit băncile asupra adevăratei naturi a afacerilor lor. Apoi, acuzaţii au găsit bănci dispuse să pacaleasca legea, contra unui comision. Aceşti acuzaţi au pariat că îşi vor putea continua schema, dar au pierdut”, a declarat un oficial al FBI.
Potrivit acuzaţiilor lansate de FBI, companiile au aranjat să primească bani din partea jucătorilor americani, mascând operaţiunile că plăţi efectuate către site-ui inexistente care ar fi vânzut marfă precum bijuterii sau mingi de golf. Companiile de poker au păcălit băncile americane în a procesa miliarde de dolari, dar unele bănci au ascuns aceste scheme pentru ascunde operaţiunile de jocuri ilegale.
Această lovitură ar putea conduce la decesul industriei de jocuri online, care a decolat în ultima decadă, atrăgând circa 15 milioane de jucători americani.
Operaţiunea lansată la New York vizează 3 miliarde de dolari reprezentând spălare de bani, penalităţi şi taxe din partea acuzaţilor. 76 de conturi bancare din 14 ţări folosite de firmele de poker au fost blocate.
Cinci domenii de internet folosite de companii pentru a găzdui jocurile lor au fost închise de autorităţi.

New Lazy Town Game Announced
We here at Aeropause have a fondness for all things Lazy Town, so you can imagine our giddiness when we heard the news about a new Lazy Town game coming next year for the 360, PS3 and PC. Not much has been said by publisher THQ, but they do mention that they are looking for new ways to market and branch out their kids franchises to not only the children, but to the tween audience as well.
Some of the plot details could change, but so far it looks like a Sportacus will have a moment of crisis after he injures himself while stretching out his hamstrings before a race. He cannot participate and loses his protectorship of Lazy Town to Robbie Rotten. Things go bad to worse for Sportacus as he finds his home, the Airship, is grounded due to mechanical difficulties, so he turns to food to calm his nerves, destroying hit fit body. It is up to Stephanie to try and find a way to shake Sportacus out of his funk and teach him how to get his groove back.
Now from all of that, I have to say that I am a bit disappointed with the concept so far. I mean, here we are, a great children’s classic, and it looks like they are totally pooching it, trying to deliver abstract drug messages through the concept of food. Is THQ drinking the kool-aid? And to put Robbie Rotten out their like some kind of Scarface like king of Lazy Town seems ridiculous. Even more crazy is that they are tying this into an extended prime time movie edition next April. Iceland I am done with your exported kids show. Way to let THQ, Nickelodeon and others ruin it. And even Stephanie seems exploited by the new game, with a more tween style and look
