It would be laughable, if there weren't already two domains that have been seized and transferred.
HighRollersLounge.com and LuckyPyramidCasino.com have both already been seized and looking at the WHOIS information, ownership was transferred to Commonwealth of Kentucky Justice Cabinet |

How the hell can my Governor just take someone's website? My dad plays and has quite a bit of money saved up on Poker sites. Now he's going to lose it all, and Beshear will get it. Can the Governor actually seize a domain name of a website that is based in another country? I'm pretty sure he can't do that...
