What does this have to do with gambling?
It's got nothing to do with crypto but everything to do with sports streaming and as such is gambling related.

This thread was on the scams board https://ninjastic.space/post/62333676, and it didn't occur to me that it was related to the gambling board.
Besides, this case didn't cause any material harm on the part of the user, and that's why it made me confused.

The site was the easiest way to get to stream all sort of football for, although considered illegal, that's about the 3rd streaming site I've witnessed FBI take down, and according to the some news I read earlier yesterday the owner(s) of the website was said to have been sentenced to a 30 years imprisonment, I'll update my post with the link If I'm able to remember,.

It's quite the same that happened to the all-sport streaming site score808.com, a few months back, FBI are taking it any lightly with these streaming, we might soon run out of options of where to get some live events.

Homeland Security?  Sounds a thread to the country. This is kind of funny to a point like it can spill military information.

If they says so then the website must have violated something besides illegal services to football fans. We normally see websites getting seized when its popular, hesgoal.com doesn't look one.

It's convenient to use services like this one and watch major sports for free without paying to legal services for expensive subscriptions. But when such sites get closed, people shouldn't complain because after all it's piracy and by using such services you're simply stealing.

It sounds like this may have been a site where people could watch games without having to pay money for a television service. So it’s less about crypto and more about a service that crypto gamblers may utilize to track their bets. I’m not surprised the government would shut down a site that was facilitating illegal behavior. Seems like this should be expected.

Hello mates

I thought I should drop this update here though I still count myself a newcomer and am still learning so don't know if this is actually the right board but am open for all kinds of corrections.

Well I donno how many of us here are familiar with the website @hesgoal.com, as its one of the major site football fans use in streaming of matches and getting updates on current scores in different games around the football  world. But for some reasons the website has been seized by the US government prior to violation of copyright rules as it appears on the website.

I donno know if anyone has actually notice but the rate at which major sites are proven to be unreliable is becoming alarming and I thought I should drop this so we the community can deliberate and discusse on some reasons to why this actions keep happening...

Sad news for football fans from over the globe. I don't personally use it as I'm not really that big on football but considering how massive the sport is, and how indispensable free stuff on the internet is nowadays, it's definitely going to be a big loss not having hesgoal for usage. In any case, I'm pretty sure there are other sites on the web that people can use, albeit some of them are perhaps riddled with ads and are definitely a little subpar compared the hesgoal, but it would suffice, until such site that's on par with hesgoal comes around once again.

I understand the laws that people must abide and all that but growing up on the age of internet as a poor bloke, I'm really saddened to see another pirate site going down amidst the huge crackdowns that the governments take to "protect intellectual property" which is just a load of bs.

I think its pretty simple, they actually violated some kind of law that warranted the seizure of their website. Well as for familiarity, I think am not sure I have used or come across the website before.
