You're suddenly an expert? The reason why they brought up the other charges was because they know that other stuff wouldn't stick and that's why they tried to get creative with the computer hacking and all that.

Do you know anybody or have any cases where someone's been convicted of theft by deception when it comes to gambling related activities(at least here in Nevada) that wasn't a clear-cut case of cheating such as marking cards or rigging/ using a device on a machine? For example, overpayers, skippers, faulty bill validators, taking advantage of glitches, Miss programming, or anything in those categories. I think anytime you make a wager or risk money that entire argument about it being illegal taking money from and ATM machine that starts spitting out money doesn't apply when it comes to gambling. I don't know if this is true, but someone mentioned they have never been able find any cases here in the US where someone was convicted of cheating at poker. There may be a case where the dealer was involved. I know your hate for Rob desperately wants what he claims to have done to be considered illegal.
