Topic: Charges laid in Internet gambling operation Forum: Winner Online

NY is such a confusing place. First they prosecute Jay Cohen for Wire Act iolations. Then they release Peter Dicks because there is apparently no law in NY against net gambling. Now they are using UIGEA to carry out prosecutions, which should be a federal matter. Is a little consistency too much to ask?

Charges laid in Internet gambling operation

$1B annual turnover

NEW YORK -- Criminal charges have been brought against more than two dozen people and corporations in four states in connection with a billion-dollar-a-year gambling website, authorities said yesterday.

Authorities declined to name any of those charged. One of the corporations is an offshore Internet company with an American counterpart, said Kevin Ryan, a spokesman for Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.

Ryan said the case is "one of the first times that a web designer corporation and the companies that maintain the websites have been charged."

He said the arrests by the DA's office and the New York Police Department represent the first time that Internet gambling charges have been brought since President George W. Bush signed into law last month the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

Ryan said arrests had been made in four states, and "we have initiated a $500-million asset forfeiture case," one of the largest in state history.

The charges come after a two-year international investigation that focused on Internet gambling.
