Gambling Federation's CEO comments on IGC expulsion
March 18, 2005
Gambling Federation has now issued a further statement dealing
with it's Malware crisis and the IGC action. It would seem that
CEO Flaviano Fogli is a little disappointed at the actions taken
against his group for deliberately including blocking malware in
their software download to unknowing players!
He has blithely omitted to comment on the main reason for his company's
departure from the IGC, however.
QUOTE Gambling Federation is pleased that the IGC board supports
the idea that theft and conversion of property is a reprehensible
act. Unfortunately when IGC informed that there are appropriate
means to deal with such cases, they failed to indicate what these
means were.
Does IGC consider legally pursuing the perpetrator(s) of theft and
conversion of property as appropriate means? Considering the offshore
presence of the industry and considering that transfers of property
do not, for the most part, leave a physical address, it is safe
to say that legal actions are not effective and therefore not appropriate
to solve this issue.
If an answer could be given, in a reasonable time frame, this might
help to define a code of conduct for the entire industry, in the
unfortunate event that an operator or software house is one day
victim of theft and/or conversion of property.
If no answer is provided, it would appear that the only appropriate
solution would be no action at all. If no action is the only possible
answer to theft and conversion of property, then with this decision
IGC is in reality, indirectly and unwillingly leaving it wide open
to the ones that perpetuate theft and conversion of property and
leaving its members without any possible protection.
This might discourage other operators or software houses from applying
for an IGC membership.
Considering the delicacy of this issue, it is understandable if
IGC would like to take the necessary time to answer. As for, Gambling
Federation's membership fee, it is strongly suggested that IGC donate
the concerned sum to a charity organization of their choice.
