Yeah this was posted a few days ago. Seems like a lot of agents got pinched in NY and NJ.

wow, look at who the mention

The enterprises allegedly handled thousands of wagers each month that generated hundreds of
thousands of dollars in monthly gross revenue or approximately $178 million between July 2007 and
March 2010. It is alleged to have relied on modern technology to generate its criminal proceeds,
including toll-free telephone numbers and five known gambling websites – www.crownsports.com;
www.jazzsports.com; www.5dimes.com; www.bigonsports.com; and www.betcris.com – which, in
effect, served as computerized wire rooms through which the enterprises conducted much of its illegal
gambling activity.

This is far from over. Casting the net like they did is just the start, so many peripheral players will be brought into the fold. Not players as in bettors but as in agents, collectors, launderers, other connected criminal enterprises.

Richkas says he had legal problems of late..i wonder if he was caught up in this

Doesn't look like it swept to the midwest but ya never know. I doubt it is illegal to tout an offshore book, but the second you deliver or pick up money or bets you could be in trouble. Surprised Sammy and Tsop aren't involved.

This is nothing. Illegal bookmaking is betting on credit which should be stopped.
