Maybe i am wrong but I think you are making the very large assumption that the charges filed related directly to PI's operation of his website. It very well might be that but we don't really know that either. It looks to me like all of the charges could just as easily be explained by PI's involvement in planning and throwing the party. For all we know PI just pled guilty to buying a hooker for his buddies at the party and then charging the same hooker money for alcohol. Remember these busts all stem from PI's birthday party in Cleveland. PI was charged initially with running a brothel. It is not like a bunch of FBI agents kicked his door in. These are Ohio charges not federal charges. I am certain that PI is facing stiffer charges than the next guy who throws a party because he owns Indys but I also think it is far from clear that the site necessarily created the legal issue.
Regardless, on its face it looks like he pled out of the racketeering charges, which were the only charges that involved "forfeiture." My guess is that he will still own and operate Indys after the dust clears based just on that. That's just a guess though.
I haven't looked but I don't think the particulars are posted anywhere online on any public docket sheet. Without being privy to the indictment, criminal complaint, plea agreement or grand jury transcripts, if any transcripts even exist, or PI's allocution, it is probably pointless to speculate. I will anyway. I am guessing that Stig is right and that many here will be very disappointed. I think BSer will be happy. I don't think Indys goes under or that there will be much of an impact felt here.
We will all know soon enough.
