And some wierdo has had my e-mail adress for ages and has mailed me regularly offering time stamped databases for sale. Some advertising agency I recall. I delete the mails immediately.
To be honest, once so many casinos pulled out of the USA, I personally wondered how soon it would be that someone started selling a database.
Did it say that the database for sale was UK based? If so that may be because the UK market is suddenly so much more important for some peoples survival that the databases value was suddenly huge. If it was US based, then it's because it was an asset that only had a value to the owner in the event of a sale. (morals not being discussed in this hypothesis)
By the way, this is simply theory but what is to stop a greedy staff member of a casino from taking a now unused US database and selling it off to the highest bidder. Pop off to Yahoo or Hotmail and get some anonymity and away you go. Money in the bank.
Now, I am not taking anyones side here at all. It's just that my scenario is also likely so why take only one view and then hammer it home like it was pure fact?
