Caribbean Internet Gaming thumbing their nose at US Law

So much for the Caribbean countries respecting the new internet gaming law passed in the US. I guess they feel it does not pertain to them, Briton in Curacao continues firmly with internet gaming.

CURACAO/LONDON — Despite the American’s ban on internet gaming, the Briton Alistair Assheton continues firmly with offering online gaming and casinos.  

As the Amigoe reported last Friday, the American president George Bush signed the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act (UIGE Act) that prohibits banks and credit card companies to transfer money to internet companies that are involved with gambling.

Natalee Holloway Investigation: Paulus Van der Sloot June 23, 2005 Statement

Paulus Van der Sloot June 23, 2005 Statement

The following are some excerpt from the witness statement, go here for full statement. The question that everyone should always keep in mind, is how from the very beginning of this case with the admitted contact that PVDS had with three suspects was the notion that if there “if there’s no body they don’t have a case”. (Hat Tip statement: BFN)

So how does Joran Van der Sloot, a teenager who does not have a car, normally get to school?

To your question whether Joran went to school on Monday May 30th 2005, I can state the following. I cannot precisely recollect whether Joran went to school that day. It is possible that he did not  go to school that day.

To your question whether Sebastian and Valentijn went to school that Monday, I can state the following. Yes, they got onto the bus and went to school because in the period that Anita was away they look the bus every day.

To your question whether I wait to see if they get on the bus, I can state following. Yes, I stay and watch.

So why did Joran Van der Sloot complain of leg pains? A long walk may do it.

To your question whether I can remember if Joran complained  from legs in his feet or legs during the period from May 30th 2005 to June 9th 2005, I can state the following. I can remember that between the time Anita went to the Netherlands and the time he was arrested Joran did complain about pain in his legs and feet. I cannot remember, however, if he specifically complained about that on Monday.

To your question whether I asked him what could have caused the pains, I can state the following. No, I did not ask him. He complained about these kinds of pains from time to time.

Isn’t this the perfect answer from a trained lawyer. PVDS states he cannot remember on what day (June 1, 2005) he spoke with the suspects, yet in the same breath he says he talked with them from the “moment they were interviewed as witnesses”. The very first witness statements taken from Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe were on May 31, 2005. So Paulus Van der Sloot admits talking to the three boys from the outset. Also, it was admitted by Joran Van der Sloot to Deepak Kalpoe during the conversation in the back of the squad car.

In California, Judge Says Only Men Can Be Flashers

In one of the most asinine rulings to come across in a long time, a California judge has ruled that a woman flashing a 14 year old boy has not commited a crime. He claims according to the law, only males can be convicted of exposing oneself to others.

Superior Court Judge Robert W. Armstrong said earlier in the week that the law only mentions someone who “exposes his person.”
“It’s gender specific,” Armstrong said.
He dismissed a misdemeanor charge against Alexis Luz Garcia, 40, of Corona, who was cited in May after parents of a neighbor boy said she showed him full-frontal nudity as he played basketball.  via ABC News

Fortunately, the District Attorney is going to appeal the ruling.
