Back Sheldon Adelson Supporters Lack Understanding of Technology

Senator Lindsey Graham, on the side of Sheldon Adelson, recently admitted to never actually using email and this week another one of Adelson’s supporters, Andy Abboud, made another interesting comment.

In an interview with Gambling Compliance, Abboud said that he believes Adelson will not accept exemptions for state lotteries and tribes in his campaign to get US politicians to ban online gambling.

The comment leads the public to the conclusion that Adelson and his money control what happens with regard to his bill, the Restoration of the American Wire Act, which is now at committee stage in the House.

Not only is the statement somewhat arrogant but it raises concerns that an unelected individual can influence politicians if he has enough money.

It seems interesting that someone fighting against online gambling has never sent an email before and last year Abboud said that the technical briefing on the security aspects of online gambling were over his head. This is the team that is supposed to be qualified to judge the online gambling industry and its technology?
