According to Gambling911 it is probably a good idea if Calvin Ayre not visit any country with an extradition treaty with the US. The cite rumors that he is already under secret indictment and you can pretty much assume that even if he wasn’t the DOJ would love to "speak" to him should he ever show his face in the US.
But the US doesn’t always wait for the mountain to come to Mohammed. When BetOnSports founder Gary Kaplan was nabbed he was in the Dominican Republic. Rumors at the time is that although press reports stated he was arrested by Dominican police and turned over to the US, it was actually the FBI who nabbed Kaplan.
So, here’s a list of countries that Gambling911 asserts have no extradition treaty with the US.
Algeria, Armenia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bophuthatswana, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, China (People’s Republic of China), Ciskei, The Comors, Cote d’ Ivoire, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, Jordan, Korea (South), Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Madagascar, Mali, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Micronesia, Maldova, Mongolia, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, Niger, Oman, Philippines, Principe and San Tome, Qatar, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Western Samoa, Yemen, Zaire, and Zimbabwe.
Hmmm . . . out of that list I think I would be able to hang my hat in China, Indonesia, South Korea, Laos, Micronesia, Philippines, Russian Federation, and Western Somoa. Maybe a nice little hut on a white sand beach in Bali?

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

We don’t have an extradition treaty with South Korea? Odd. Maybe it’s a death penalty thing.
