WITH LAUNDERING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
INTERNET GAMBLING PROCEEDSMICHAEL J. GARCIA, the United States Attorney for the
Southern District of New York, and MARK J. MERSHON, the Assistant
Director-in-Charge of the New York Office of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (“FBI”), announced today that STEPHEN ERIC LAWRENCE
and JOHN DAVID LEFEBVRE were arrested yesterday in connection with
the creation and operation of an internet payment services company
that facilitated the transfer of billions of dollars of illegal
gambling proceeds from United States citizens to the owners of
various internet gambling companies located overseas. According to
the two criminal Complaints unsealed yesterday:Read the rest at http://www.gambling911.com
Well the word is in, they are being charged with money laundering charges by the US Attorney General in the Southern District of New York.
LMAO what a trumped up line of BS! :hitthefan
Money laundering – that charge will never stick.
It makes me wonder though – they obviously knew it was coming – why did they let themselves get arrested?
And how long will the Brits let their businessmen get arrested by their “allies”?
Stupid wrote:Money laundering – that charge will never stick.The charge doesnt have to stick. All it has to do is disrupt the picture & scare people into submission. More strong armed bully tactics and ruling by fear. Something that we are quickly growing to expect and more sadly accept.
OK thanks for the nortel update guys , I appreciate it greatly , i think you saved me $25.00 for the broker charge lol.
I am canadian and conceed that USA can kick our asses all the way to china but I doubt we will see the day they will want to.USA already has impacted the Canadian Banks and Gambling ,some banks have already closed down bank accounts involved in heavy internet gambling transactions.
I wonder if the Indians in Quebec will let us bank there LOL
We are all throwing our 2 cents worth of bullsheyat speculation out there…
…so here goes mine:
This seems to be a fishing expedition. What I mean is this: NETeller itself has not been filed on or charged or anything. In fact, NETeller said they would comply with the US law.
I believe that the US Government has little clue about the payment processing in this industry, but they realize that — to shut us down — the money movement is the key.
These arrests do two things:
1) Give the US the info they want while these two men sit in jail and sing like birds to avoid prosecution… due to fear. So the government learns all they can.
2) Yes. It chills the whole industry and has the effect of a six page thread it 24hours.
Will these men actually be prosecuted? Hard to say, but I lean towards “no” under some plea deal.
How much resource has the US wasted chasing down this industry? Start asking why… why… why…

Like I said I expect the Google like demands give us your data base of clients. I just hope they like Google refuse the demand!
I found more details about this here:
http://www.majorwager.com/forums/mess-hall/142396-announcement-us-attorney-regarding-neteller.htmlONCE AGAIN…
Notice that they used a sportsbetting opperation to make these charges. They are gonna go back to the Wire Act, again…
I had been wondering — if the signed law wasn’t in effect until July 12th — how the government could argue an “illegal” transaction… considering playing at casinos is still not illegal even under the new law.
This is the answer: Sportsbetting transactions.
This may even be good news for us… in a backward way. What I see is our government realizes the new law has few teeth… and this is their best shot at shutting down payments, scaring players, and making the industry look like criminals.
antoine wrote:This neteller thing sucks but it’s not entirely unexpected.Regarding nortel a couple of weeks ago they did a share split. Basically for every 10 shares you had they gave you 1 back and the amount per share went up in value by 10. So basically it’s still hovering around the $3 range had the shares never split.
I was also pretty lucky with this company. I saw them trading at below a dollar and then sold them at over $3 a couple of months later.
That’s called a reverse split and means the company was in jeopardy of being delisted. That’s not a good sign. I new that turn around had to be to good to be true.

Yep, the main activities reported from Miami and NY were transferring monies to NETeller and placing bets on an National Football League (“NFL”) football game.
I don’t read the forums for a day and this is what happens???
I’ve got nothing to add to this thread other than it’s 2:30pm and I’m gonna start drinking. :shots: See you in another 24.
FBI Assistant Director MERSHON stated: “Internet gambling
is a multibillion-dollar industry. A significant portion of that
is the illegal handling of Americans’ bets with offshore gaming
companies, which amounts to a colossal criminal enterprise
masquerading as legitimate business. There is ample indication
these defendants knew the American market for their services was
illegal. The FBI is adamant about shutting off the flow of illegal
cash.“They want to keep the cash in the USA.
