The G2E Panel

October 6th, 2004 by Dave

The much-anticipated “Legal Limbo” panel at G2E 2004 is now history. I’m blogging from the expo floor, so this will be quick–look for an update tomorrow with links to any media coverage.

Bascially, I said hello, then introduced Bob Blumenfeld, who spoke about the Wire Act and the “March Madness” prosecutions of March 1998. Bob then turned the podium over to Jay Cohen, who spoke very convincingly about his case in all of its phases.

There was a ton of interest, and I think that the panel helped to get some good information out there.

Look for more tomorrow.

    Dave,

    Can’t wait to hear more on this.

    Interesting stuff.

    BTW, just finished your book. It was a great read.

    David- The Legal Limbo panel was fantastic. I can speak for myself as well as the attorneys from Joelson Wilson in London, who we partnered with this year as G2E’s Chief Legal and Regulatory Advisors. Thanks for arranging a terrific session.
