Robb, Take your Basher Mentality and your hopes of covering @ $3... Get a Life!!! Are you on the CRY payroll, like the RCMP??? When will the Canadian Goverment step in??? I know it's the land of the Vietnam Draft Dodgers, but my God!!! I hope those whimps want another trade treaty from those of us in the Lower 48, after all, that's what is keeping your Country running... Please some of my Canadian friends (may not have any, after this post :>) Give us some Government e-mails addresses to get in contact with your houses of Government??? No disrespect to my Buds, North of the Border, but how do you get respect from your placent Government??? Later...Gator This post may be redundant, but...

Rob, if the stock is toast if everything is legit, then why is is still trading and why was it not halted already? Just this week , MMCN was halted just on news that they were losing revenues from CSCO and IBM... You a new shorter here to spread some special cheer? I am interestd in your informed response to the above question. Brian

Rob; If you think the SEC will halt a stock for little things like this, you have a long wait. I can show you one good example of a company where the officers bled it dry, closed the doors and it still trades! After numerous complaints to the SEC to investigate. SNMM main business is in Antigua, and so they should rightly move thier offices there too. Bob

This move is NOT admitting guilt. It's to get away from the BUL**** that the RCMP is giving them. Would you stay somewhere that you were under constant watch and harassment for a charge you did'nt commit? I think not. This is a strong move for SNMM. Should have been done earlier in the year.

RobbRacer, On the contrary. Rechartering in Antigua or other appropriate jurisdiction was always part of Starnet's contingency plan. It should not be construed as an admission of guilt about anything but as a prudent move from a business perspective. PlayStar did similar last year as did Cyberoad.com. Neither of these companies were in trouble but redomiciled to insulate themselves from potential legal concerns from operating in Canada. Expect other Canadian-based gaming companies to follow. Similar jurisdictional issues exist with at about a dozen states in the US who have proclaimed Internet Gambling illegal in the absence of federal legislation. Also, the offenses supposedly committed by Starnet are believed more technical in nature rather than substantive criminal offenses and the worst-case scenario will likely be a small fine. If you read the sixty-eight page search warrant, it appears Las Vegas Casinos was largely responsible for kicking off this whole fiasco and they were one of the sites welcoming Canadian citizens via their own merchant processing service. It's kind of like the duck calling the Mallard a "quack" IMO! As to the prospect of a temporary halt in the SNMM, I'd probably welcome it anyway. The reality now is Starnet is entering its busiest season ever and unless the company shuts down, it's going to rake in lots of money.
