PokerStars launched its beta play money only site on September 11, 2001, and later began real money wagering on December 12, 2001. PokerStars was originally a Costa Rican company, Rational Enterprises, majority owned by the Scheinberg family of Israel
United States v. Scheinberg, 10 Cr. 336 (2011), is a United States federal criminal case against the founders of the three largest online poker companies, PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Cereus (Absolute Poker/Ultimatebet), and a handful of their associates,[1] which alleges that the defendants violated the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) and engaged in bank fraud and money laundering in order to process transfers to and from their customers
The law made processing payments for illegal online gambling a crime; however, the defendant companies remained in the U.S. market in the belief that the law did not cover poker.
On April 24, 2012 multiple media sources reported PokerStars was settling its own outstanding issues with the DOJ, and as part of the deal would purchase Full Tilt Poker and pay off its player balances.[
On September 20, 2011, the U.S. Justice Department accused Full Tilt of defrauding poker players out of more than $300 million. The U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York filed a motion to amend an earlier civil complaint to allege that company directors Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Rafe Furst, and Ray Bitar operated what the Justice Department claims was a Ponzi scheme that allowed the company to pay out $444 million to themselves and other owners.

To me, this is all sums up the level of control the Zionists have.

Of course it does. Just another anti-Israel rant. If i find out an online poker company is run by Ugandans, can i go on a white supremacist tirade and consider myself justified?
Trust me, jews dont run the world. If they did, Iran would have been a glass parking lot several years ago.
No star, no flag. Open your mind and stop believing everything you read on Rense.

So you are going to deny the fact that people of Jewish origin hold many, many high places, seemingly completely out of proportion with their numbers in terms of population- from media, government, finances and big business, to the online gambling industry being pretty much owned by Jewish people?

I can see through your post, this isn't a Jewish conspiracy, it's got nothing to do with the Jewish people in general, it is a minority of them. Zionism does not reflect the Jews, that's like saying Nazism reflected Germans in WW2. It's a defense mechanism, to call anti semetic, to stop people seeking the truth.

Of course i wont, but its not hard to understand why they do. Ill explain it to you though.
The Jews are the single most hated race on the face of the earth to still be alive as a distinct people and culture. After hundreds, even thousands of years of discrimination, it is a wonder they are still around and havent been exterminated like so many other races before them. People have tried.
So why do they still hang on? Because they are some of the most driven, hardest working people in the world. Certainly years of avoiding persecution have helped them achieve a survival instinct id dare say is unrivalled in any other race. Money is the single most important thing in todays world to help them succeed, and succeed they do.

Call it what you want. Zionism is simply a term meaning the goal of finding a homeland. You people have twisted each and every little thing the jews do to justify your anger towards them. This post is a perfect example. Somehow you have linked a simple internet gaming company to jews ruling the world.
Now whos jumping to conclusions?
