Online Gaming Site Bodog  Mountains of cash, beautiful women,
and a nonstop round-the-world party. Life was good for Calvin
Ayre, founder of the online gambling powerhouse Bodog. Then he
was gone.  If you were to ask him yourself, that is, if you
could find him in Cuba or Antigua or wherever he's fanning
himself with a fistful of $100 bills, Calvin Ayre would want you
to know that he is not a fugitive, that no matter what the media
or the U.S. government thinks of him, he has broken no laws and
thus is not in any way an outlaw, or even a scofflaw. He would
tell you this with a straight face, or perhaps an indignant one.
But, you know, if you happened to hear that Bodog, the Internet-
based gambling juggernaut that he birthed and then nurtured in
his image, has been operating in violation of U.S. law, and that
the 47-year-old Canadian billionaire could be arrested if he set
foot on American soil
