Topic: Online sportsbetting one of the charges in massive NY sweep Forum: Casino Meister

thanks for the article. i'm ery interested to see how this develops b/c it could be the first case to test a lot of the legal questions we've all been throwing around. the article never mentioned how the funds were transferred between the parties, even though it did use the phrase "wire room," but that's just where they were placing telephone calls and not wiring funds. unless they were flying suitcases of money to each other, there was some type of financial institution involved. it will be interesting to see who that turns out to be. i can only assume it couldn't be a us corp or they would have been taken down at the same time for iolation of the wire fraud act.

also, the article is ery ague on the actual charges, laws and jurisdictions involved. it says there were some federal and some state crimes, but not really the breakdown. it also seems to imply that some of the federal charges were "online sportsbetting" but never confirms that. it seems the state charges involving gambling that are discussed in more detail are simply running an illegal gambling operation, nothing to do with the bets they placed with the online sites, even though it is written in a way to sort of imply that their charges involved this.

very interesting.....thanks again.......i'm going to see if i can get a copy of the idictments to see exactly what they say. i will be following this story ery closely for sure.
