4490 Allegations that defendants permitted their payment service to be used with the specific intent to facilitate operation of an unlawful lottery on the internet are sufficient to make out a case of aiding and abetting in the commission of a tort; allegations that defendants knowingly permitted their payment service to be used in the operation are not sufficient to make out a case of aiding and abetting; a plaintiff who filed an Unlawful Competition Action on behalf of the general public or a class before the passage of Proposition 64 and now lacks standing under the change it brought should be given an opportunity to amend to add a plaintiff who has standing, but not if the allegations otherwise fail to make out a case.
