    Edit by SBR Forum:

    What Legends has stated publicly is that there is no reason for users to be concerned about their funds and history shows in most cases user balances and day to day operations are unaffected. What we know is that indictments relating to gaming where they accept business from US users or have done business within the US is not uncommon. But, players should do what they feel is in their best interest and safest for them.

    Noticed the name Spiros "The Greek" Athanas on the indictment list, this could get very interesting.

    FBI officials were at the home of Spiros "The Greek" Athanas earlier Wednesday morning, located at 186 Gunstock Hill Road in Gilford. Although not home, FBI officials said Athanas would be turning himself in later in the day.

    So does Spiro own The Greek now? or use to work for them back in the day? He was partners at Legends? And then Legends was associated with running a gambling ring in Oklahoma? Totally crazy. There must of been some major sh#$ going down... because if it was strictly offshore they wouldn't of said Oklahoma territory alone.

    The current domain of the A+ rated Legends is listed in the indictment, as are BetJamaica and OlympicSports.

    That's why Olympic left the USA market a year ago. Has it been a year? Or a year and a half? They knew this was coming. And they tried to avoid it. Can't avoid Obama son.... you know better.

    No they are the same, Lengendz changed its name to Legends a few years ago. I guess some people still colloquially refer to them as Legendz.

    Instead of panic maybe someone should see if a person can do an inter book transfer from legends to another A+ book. That might be a barometer of the situation

    Page 57 of the indictment claims that from March 2008 through October 2012 Sprios transferred a total of $3.34 million from a bank account in Jamaica to (presumably) his personal bank account in his hometown of New Hampshire.

    There are no more A+ books anymore, just books that will all eventually become targets of the feds.

    later

    Yeah, I understand the inclination to panic, but you really have to give situations like this time to play out. The affect on players can vary greatly. Only time will tell.

    I love how in this .pdf file the beginning of the story... the statutes of limitation had already expired... but the US Gov made sure they had more recent evidence against them. Biased pric#s

    Legends still has $675 of my money after shutting my account and not paying me like 3 years ago. True story. Crooked fks.
    It was contest money I had won and they said because they shut my account and didn't completely roll it over it was theirs lol. I was 90% done with the rollover too.

    According to a report on the SBR homepage, SBR will seek comment from Legends executives. It's important to understand though that this is an indictment, full of alleged charges, not a destruction of the actual business. Many well-known industry figures have been named in US indictments before and businesses attributed to them have continued to operate unimpeded.

    Let's wait for Legends statement.
