Wire fraud was my first thought when reading the OP as well. I can't tell you how many friends have come up to me with some idea for some great scam on the internet (usually just as a joke) that they think would be legal. People readily forget that when you accept monetary transfers over the internet you still leave yourself open to wire fraud, which rather defeats the purpose of housing your scam on the internet. Edit: If I'm not mistaken, they often use wire fraud to go after child pornographers. Could there be a precedent set there that could effect this case?
