Pretty sure they're going to hit Micon pretty damn hard if he comes back. They're going to make an example out of the kid.

I think this sucks. I hope he can get out of it somehow. 200 nerds playing a card game for cyber money just should not be that big a deal.
I understand that Nevada doesn't fuck around but sending this guy to jail does not protect society from any harm whatsoever. It's total bullshit.
I support the ability to play some fucking cards from anywhere, for anything from a computer. I enjoyed playing on Seals.

First time offender he will likely get some sort of deferred prosecution
Especially with good representation
I also would like to say it is disgusting to see the majority of you clearly rooting against him, just about everyone on here should be the ones supporting him
Was what he did a risk, yes
However Micon is a good person and is supporting online gaming (something we all have or currently partake in)
You all are a bunch of cop loving hypocritical faggots
lol. some idiot already gave him a grand.
10:1 it's him who gave himself a grand.
I have never met, nor had as much as an email exchange with Micon. So I have no personal bias towards or against him. But I'm just genuinely wondering, not being rhetorical, what makes you say this?

This is a class B felony you dumb mother fucker. We're not talking a pack of gum here. Not to mention his tax situation. If you think he properly filed taxes on his illegal business then you are dumb as shit like I always suspected. I'm thrilled the mook is done. Fuck Micon.
I also have no personal dealings with Micon...

I do believe people in general are good and unlike most I root for the little guy
Micon to me has always come across as a harmless goof ball not an asshole
Also, he wasn't supporting online gaming. He was running Seals to line his pockets. Also recall that his partners later revealed that Micon never held any of the bitcoin at Seals, so he doesn't even deserve any credit for the site responsibly paying people. He had absolutely no control over the funds there.

I don't see why he should be considered a hero for running an online poker site which was clearly illegal.
If I ran a casino out of my living room, open to the general public, and got busted for it, would you believe that I was being wrongfully persecuted?
Lol I can tell you know ZERO about the legal system...This is a class B felony you dumb mother fucker. We're not talking a pack of gum here. Not to mention his tax situation.

They always charge up to start.. this will be pled down... there is no minimum on this sentence
Go about acting rich you broke fag, lol middle age fat pockles
cheering against micon is fine. he was not very nice to us at nwp and it felt like he treated us as scrubs that were there to make him money. And since micon is really a scrub himself and not right about a lot of the shit he does, that rubs people the wrong way.
Yes, and I would hope for the best outcome for youAlso, he wasn't supporting online gaming. He was running Seals to line his pockets.

If Micon never had access to any bitcoins, wasn't he just an affiliate/host who was paid?Also, he wasn't supporting online gaming. He was running Seals to line his pockets.

I don't recall any rakeback/affiliates/sponsored pros getting jail time after Black Friday.
Why should online poker be illegal?
It shouldn't, but that's a different discussion for a different time.
The bottom line is that it IS illegal to run an unlicensed site, and he had a huge advantage in the market because everyone else who would have run a similar site (myself included) did not do so because of its illegal status.
Whether or not you agree with all laws in society, you are expected to follow them. If you choose not to, you can't complain about the consequences.
Basically, you can't just say, "Screw licensing requirements, I'll run my own casino without a license, and then claim I'm being persecuted if I get busted for it."
Antigua is a nice place but very expensive, if Micon has to leave in a couple months he'll probably head to Costa Rica next.
Lol at Micon's GoFundMe.....using a picture of his daughter? Really?
I have had Issues with credit cards in Europe
I get it, but throwing a guy in jail for something that shouldn't be illegal feels a little off, no?It shouldn't, but that's a different discussion for a different time.
