Going after Rennick is a move to create a villain out of a rich fat-cat guy, as that serves their purposes better than having the government grab money from regular folks.

Can't quite put it all together, but it seems well timed with the Menendez bill. It will be interesting to see which of the names above end up running for office. Arlo Devlin-Brown is supposedly the militantly anti-poker guy, but I'm hearing that like third-hand. huh. yeah, it’s unusual for the DOJ to issue a press release like this, i am pretty sure.

Is it common that a <i>court</i> would put out a press release on their own indictments? That strikes me as a bit unusual ... but maybe this is SOP anytime they have a potentially controversial case?
