This is not new. The FBI has done that to company having roots in the US. That's why most of them have roots in Canada.

While the gaming companies were licensed and domiciled in their respective offshore jurisdictions, their owners maintained back office operations, web hosting and banking ties in the U.S.

Crytologic has no roots in the US what so ever. It is a Canadian company operated from Canada, by Canadians. No entity in the US.

There is nothing the FBI, or let say the US, can do about this foreign company doing business on the Wolrd wide Internet.

That's also what makes Cryptologic so great.

It really does not have anything to do with CRYP business.
See what Starnet COO had to say today:

"I would like to point out that the charges were against sports-wagering operations who solicit bettors in the U.S. using conventional phone solicitation. While these companies all had websites, it appears that it was their phone soliciting, and not their Internet sites, that got them into trouble."
