Re: Costa Rica OIJ raids PokerStars and AP/UB offices in Costa Rica
PokerStars continues to operate the world's largest poker room, business as usual. It is true that the OIJ is currently at the PokerStars Costa Rican office and has sent employees home temporarily, but employees will be able to return in a few hours. PokerStars expects the office to return to business as usual in short order as this action was most likely taken as a response to problems experienced by other local companies in the same industry.

So basically the local courts and politicians have $$$ signs in their eyes. Preet Bharara says there is $3 billion, and everyone wants their proper piece of the loot.
Sorry for all Costa Rican employees of these companies, you are soon out of a job. No reason for Poker Stars to stay here if this is how Costa Rica decides to treat them. No reason for any of the sportsbooks to stay here much longer either, the writing is on the wall.
