WISDOM, Circuit Judge:
This appeal presents an issue of statutory construction: whether 18 U.S.C. § 1961(6), defining an unlawful debt as one incurred in violation of state laws against gambling and the business of gambling, applies in a state that forbids gambling but has no specific statutory proscription of the business of gambling. We believe that § 1961(6) applies, and reverse the district court's judgment.
