Remember, the arrest of NETeller execs had zero to do with UIGEA*. Now, Party gaming has links to sports books, so they were always in danger of prosecution under the Wire Act, and even if somehow the UIGEA is either struck down or rendered irrelevant, people who run offshore sportsbooks will still be in danger of prosecution.

*UIGEA enforcement has not even started yet. The timing of the NETeller arrests may well have been orchestrated for a specific purpose. I wouldn't put it past the DOJ to time extraneous arrests to create a certain perception, but that doesn't change the reality that the NETeller execs were not charged with anything UIGEA related.
