isildur1 We already know that Isildur1 is actually Viktor Blom, as he revealed himself at Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure. Some people think that he didn’t want to come forward because of the tax laws of Sweden. The newspapers say that he might get a $150 million tax, because poker players from this country have to pay 30% tax on winnings from online gambling, from sites that don’t have their HQ in EU.

This huge number comes from the fact that the law places the tax on each pot that is played, and it doesn’t matter if you won or lost. That’s how you can get such a ridiculous tax amount. Because Blom currently lives in the UK, he can sit relaxed now, since this country doesn’t tax gambling income.
