Guess Micon was right when he was telling Yebsite there are lots of CHEWS that own and run the sites.

http://www.forbes.com/2010/02/10/poker- ... slide.html

Isai Scheinberg
A former programmer for IBM in Canada and Israel, Scheinberg is a primary owner of PokerStars, the world's biggest online poker firm, with estimated revenue of $1.4 billion. He founded PYR Software, which supports PokerStars, in the Toronto suburbs.

Mark Scheinberg
Son of Isai Scheinberg, he founded PokerStars with his father's help. PokerStars is based in the Isle of Man and is the biggest online poker firm taking U.S. bets. It has several legal opinions from U.S. law firms that say the company is not violating U.S. law.

Christopher Ferguson
Poker champion known as "Jesus" likes to wear black cowboy hats. He helped found and develop the software for Tiltware, the exclusive software provider for Full Tilt Poker, the second biggest online firm taking U.S. poker bets, which has estimated revenues of $500 million.

Howard Lederer
Famous professional poker player known as "The Professor." He is listed as a managing member of Tiltware in California business records. Lederer has helped organize a group of well-known poker players, including Phillip Ivey, to help promote Full Tilt Poker.

Raymond Bitar
The chief executive of Tiltware has an office in Full Tilt's Dublin, Ireland headquarters. Bitar used to run the Los Angeles office of a proprietary trading firm where Ferguson also traded securities. The two started tinkering with poker software before launching Tiltware.

Decent article. The Jewishness of the owners of Stars, etc. are well known.

This should be easy for them to accomplish, since they don't live here, nor are they Americans. No big deal, they'll find someplace else to vacation.

I'll match those odds on saying Mark Scheinberg won't give a flying fuck if he sets foot in the concentration camp known as the USA.
