Unlikely He Will Win

Pennsylvania lawyer Larry Burns was arrested just last year for his involvement in concerning poker games in the state. The case came to light and Burns was arrested with roughly $40,000 in alleged gambling monies seized in connection with the charges. U.S. states generally have strong legislation in place to stop individual, unlicensed citizens from hosting poker games either in their homes, work places, venues, or through the online casinos. While small casual poker games rarely cause a stir the Attorney General’s office has now caused some additional debate in the case with a request for seizure of the money already seized.

Basically, the monies generated from the land poker games are just as tainted as they might have been if they came from the online casinos and the AG’s office wants those seized funds back. Specifically, the seized money came from “illegal” activities and is therefore unable to remain with the local law enforcement. The problems start to arise though when you consider that the $31,000 of the confiscated monies were donated to the Westmoreland Country Fire Department and are therefore largely irrecoverable. That fact though hasn’t stopped the AG’s office from petitioning the courts to confiscate those funds.

Further compounding the entire situation is the fact that Burns is still arguing and pressing the courts to drop the case on account of poker not being illegal. The poker debate is long and spans the entire world really – analysts and governments debating the land and online casino gambling industries have pondered the skill versus chance argument that asserts that poker gaming is not a form of gambling. There is little chance that Burns will get off with that argument in the U.S.
