Topic: Statement from Flaviano - CEO of Gambling Federation Forum: Winner Online

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 ommitted 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 ictim 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.
