LOL intrade backed off from a very legitimate civil complaint. Looks like they don't want to take the Wall Street settle and admit no guilt route. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324469304578143310068058252.html?mod=googlenews_wsj Yeah, it's kinda the CFTC's job to regulate things like off-exchange swaps and derivatives on currencies and commodities, and if they'd done a more stringent job as they seem to be doing now, maybe 2008 wouldn't have happened. Just a thought. No one forced a gun to Intrade's head, just a civil complaint. More business for Betfair, I suppose.
