Kate Lowenhar-Fisher (Member, Las Vegas) and Greg Gemignani (Member, Las Vegas) were recently quoted in the CDC Gaming Reports article, “‘Tortured effort’ by DOJ attorneys concerning the Wire Act will be decided in federal court.”
The article discusses the opinions of many in the gaming industry as they try to make sense of the Department of Justice’s reversing of the 2011 opinion concerning the Federal Wire Act. “Legally, the decision was not ambiguous. It was a tortured effort to interpret the Wire Act to include all forms of betting. It was an absurd grammatical exercise,” shares Kate.
