Interesting Thoughts About Recent Events:

After watching the events that have transpired over the past few days and months I must say I?m still in disbelief.

First off when the cops raid a drug house the cops go in looking for, what else, drugs and or equipment and suspects that make the drugs. Most well planned and organized drug raids end up with arrests and confiscation of drugs and or equipment and property, THAT DAY. Law enforcement agencies love to raid crack houses and display the goods to the media right away, so we can see the fruits of their labor. They don?t raid a crack house without arresting someone and or giving them back their equipment to continue making drugs.

Well SNMM isn't no crack house and after 18 months of a thorough and intense investigation by the RCMP. One of Canada?s finest and most professional law enforcement agency. What do we have? NOTHING!

Where are all the kiddy porn pictures? Where?s all this illegally laundered money? Show me the servers that were accepting bets from U.S and Canada. In other words, SHOW ME THE MONEY. I?ll tell you what I want to know is how much money did the RCMP spend investigating this? It looks like the RCMP needs to investigate themselves. Not only did they rip off SNMM investors but they also ripped off the Canadian taxpayers, by spending 18 long months, and god knows how many officers on this case. If they could not make a case in 18 months and they could not come up with any incriminating evidence in their search, then something is seriously wrong here. You don?t raid a crack house without confiscating some crack or arresting some crackheads.

They busted the doors of SNMM like a bunch of thugs looking for some very specific things. Kiddy porn being one of them. Come on folks. They are not about to ruin a multi-million dollar operation for a few kiddy porn pictures. If they found any pictures we would have known by now. Even if they did find some I doubt that SNMM would have done it knowingly. Look at what happened to Penthouse magazine back in the 80?s when they took pictures of Tracy Lord. Tracy Lord had a fake ID and misrepresented her age to everyone. Whose fault was that? Penthouse got a lot of bad publicity and got into some heavy dodo over that one. But were are they today, are they still in business? YES.

The press reported that the police captured a bunch of pornographic pictures. I should hope so. For god sake SNMM owns and runs adult web sites. You can?t make any money running adult web sites by showing women?s lingerie. HELLO!!!

The press also reported that the RCMP placed some bets at a few web sites. Well who owns these sites? These sites are owned by SNMM licensee?s, NOT SNMM!! SNMM has made it very clear that they do not accept wages from the U.S and Canada from their own casino web sites. I have tried on each of their sites and was rejected. However, the licensees are another story. It is the responsibility of the licensee to patrol their own site and monitor who can and cannot bet from their offshore casinos. This has not been a major secrete.

Is it Budweiser fault if someone gets drunk and kills someone while driving? Is it the gun manufactures fault if someone buys a gun and shots someone? Is it Tylenol?s fault if someone takes to many Tylenol?s and kills themselves? Is it SNMM?s fault if licensee takes U.S and Canada bets offshore? Okay, maybe I didn?t use the best analogies, but you get the picture. The point is NO!

No, I believe that there are OTHER FORCES at work here other than the RCMP raiding SNMM headquarters or Claude the fraud mounting a smear campaign against SNMM. Claude the fraud and the RCMP are but small fish in a bigger pond. This whole thing has a funny smell to it. Everything over the last few months seem to have been well-planned and well-orchestrated attack against SNMM by someone or something. Being in the gaming and porno business you don?t grow as fast as SNMM has without stepping on someone?s toes or making enemies along the way.

I may take a lot of heat for this but so be it.
