    Us government coming after ron sacco, owner of bookmaker, again
    For that that don't know, the US has already has problems with the owner of bookmaker, Ron Sacco.

    “The largest illegal sports betting ring in history was run by Ron 'The Cigar' Sacco. Sacco made the mistake of going on CBS's TV show '60 Minutes' to brag about his telephone bookie operation and how the federal government could not touch him.

    “The F.B.I. and U.S. Department of Justice took up his challenge. Sacco was a difficult target, because he was living abroad. But the feds put pressure on his host country, the Dominican Republic. The police of that country arrested him. The technical charges were violating local gambling laws, not American laws. The Dominican Republic, at that time, only allowed local betting, and Sacco was taking phone bets from the U.S.

    The US GOVT really hates this guy and I am sure this is why Bookmaker was targeted and was one of the first sportsbooks seized. Get your money out of this book quick. US is taking them down. Just like in the past when Sacco was out of their jurisdiction, they still found a way to get him canned.

    There is no point in taking the big risk and leaving the money in these sportsbooks. There's massive amounts of heat coming from the US GOVT. First the poker sites get seized and sure enough now the sportsbooks. Better off just cashing out, playing with locals and seeing how this all plays out.

      Good luck getting paid by Bookmaker.

      "The indictments and affidavit seek the forfeiture of the bank accounts used to process the gambling transactions."

                                      The last thing any corrupt government does before it takes off its mask is to pillage the people.
                                      This is what you are witnessing from the US government at this time.
                                      Its so sad, the USA has so much to be proud of. I love your country, your Constitution and the freedoms your forefathers gave you.
                                      To bad its being stolen from you by a bunch of crooked, slimy criminals.
