It often happens that the accuser also hides something. If it is proven, let him pay for the crimes. Here in Brazil something similar is happening; it has no relation to gambling, but some of our ministers of the Supreme Federal Court are involved in a billion-dollar fraud scandal, and they are posing as defenders of the law, practically saints, immaculate.
It’s basically what happened all over the world, and when you look at it very well, most of the time most of the accused are guilty of the charges, and their cases only become a thing when they turn out to be a threat to a party that is trying to regain power or any form of political threat.
They will always wake up old wounds or where others don’t look, and they will use that against the person to fight him legally. I don’t know the real case behind this until the ruling is decided; for now, all we can do is speculate based on what we have also seen happening around us.
I'm not surprised as the gambling discussion thread is gaining more interests in political aspects after all the crusader in question had made it known that his arrest was as a results of political involvement.
Otherwise, I'm really finding it strange why we talk more of politics in this discussion instead of gambling while this is neither not prediction market we're talking about here.
This is just to tell us how every of our daily lives activities has become politicised to the extent that if you're a concern about some people they'll also begin to keep record's about you until you get into their trap just as this crusader being landed in trouble after exposing the evils of the agencies. So they finds this means of him associated with gambling to count him charges that hasn't still be proven as the accuser claims not guilty.
