Served with a search warrant from Nevada Gaming at gunpoint, then lead out my front door in nothing but boxers & handcuffs, then they stole most of my electronics. I was not arrested or charged with any crimes.

If they take you away against your will that is called an arrest, even if he wasn't charged and they didn't call it an arrest. The Arstechnica article was published today.

The comment section on Ars is pretty sad for a site based on technology, regarding anything bitcoin. I used to love going there many years ago. Not anymore.

Pretty naive to run an illegal gambling site from US soil and expect no consequences. The US is constantly shutting down gambling operations that don't make their cut to the government ("licensing"). This guy got away without jail it appears, so he's pretty lucky considering executives of other foreign internet gambling sites have been arrested inside the US.

Everything is cool judging from the statement and seals reopened under another name.  Good to see Micon keeping everyones funds safe.
