You're talking the U.S. here, Denis. Betting happens all over the place. Think Las Vegas and the tentacles to/from there. These guys happen to have more $$$ than most, but I gotta guess it's done in the same 'spirit' as me an my $10. bet ***through*** my friend. I have no idea if my friend is connected to the Mob.

I don't think so... this isn't politics after all.
Strangest of all to me is that this is not about gambling on hockey, yet all this fuss. **IF** Mrs. Gretzky knew it was through the Mob, that's one thing, but if not it's a whole other thing.
