If you send money to "Joe Blow" in Costa Rica via Western Union then there's not a damn thing they can do. There's numerous ways to deposit and withdrawl other than Neteller, etc.
Where one door closes another one will always open.
In the long run this might just make things better for all of us.

You're not missing the obvious at all--unless the government shut down *all* transfers in and out of the country which ain't going to happen. Even Frist wouldn't go for this (though some of his fundy friends might) and there are far too many political and business interests to name that would prevent this from every happening. As I've noted elsewhere, Western Union already makes a *ton* of revenue off of money transfers from the US to Mexico. They even spend a lot of money marketing to the Mexican-American for just this reason--just go into any check cashing store in an area with a decent sized immigrant population and you can't miss it. One can pretty safely assume that a certain percentage of those are from illegal aliens. If they're not going to shut down transfers to Mexico for this reason, they're sure as hell not going to shut down transfers to Costa Rica or Antigua for sports gaming purposes.
Even now, if you sent a money order to a book its not like you're sending it to "Carib Sports Book" or whatever. As long as you're not stupid about sending Western Union transfers there won't be any problem doing so in the future.

June 4,1963.......JFK signs Executive order #11110. It takes back the power of the Government to create money based on silver reserves. More than $4 billion of $2 and $5 United States Notes (Not to be confused with Federal Reserve Notes) were printed.
$10 and $20 notes were in production at the time of his assasination.
November 12,1963..............JFK gives a speach at Columbia University........."The high office of the President has been used to impliment a plot to destroy America's freedom, and before I leave office, I must inform the citizen of this plight."
November 22,1963...........JFK assasinated.......
All United States Note production is halted.
All United States Notes in circulation are immediatly recalled.
Just a little something your kids will never see in their History books.

There is no if involved with this...its happening now and eventually they will complete halt average citizens from getting any money out of the country.
Thats why all this terrorism stuff was the best thing to ever happen for govt and many people believe (and plenty reason to believe) us govt created terrorism...an invisible, yet omnipresent enemy.
Now, everything they want to pass (that prior 9-11 they would never get away with) they merely slap a hint or outright label tying anything to terrorism and its gets approved.
Not only is there little or no resistance, they are applauded for "protecting" us.
Another great post bigplay and no, that wont be in any history books.
