The bill is meaningless.
Banks can not enforce it. When is the last time you wired money to wetakebets.com?
The DOJ does not have prison space for 40,000,000 americans.
ISPs will not be shut down. There are 1000s and if necessary, books will set up offshore 800 number ISPs.
As long as books can make millions of dollars, books will function.
Prohibition did not work with alcohol. Drugs are supposedly prohibited, yet any drug can be found in any city in this country. Prostitution is illegal, yet you can have a perfect 10 in your room in 30 minutes. jaywalking is illegal yet people cross the street. Prohibiting internet gambling will have no effect.
The only effect I can see is that directors and CEOs will not come here anymore.
Now all of this is not true if one of two things happens:
1. other countries extradite (Dont count on it)
2. the us uses it's military to go make arrests (Dont count on it - IF they planned to do this, they would have already. We had no problem marching into Iraq. If America wanted to spend billions to outlaw internet gambling, they would have already flown into CR and shut it down.)
The BOS thing happened because a CEO who was associated with a guy who did all sorts of illegal things in the USA decided to enter the USA. This will not happen again.
Calvin's new flight plan is CR to London to Toronto or CR to Sydney to Vancouver. I bet the guy doesnt even fly over the US anymore.
