Details of fed charges against betonsports.com...

So the feds have released details of the charges...
http://www.online-casinos.com/news/news2516.asp

There is some interesting stuff in there:

* NO bail
* feds are seeking over $4 billion in unpaid taxes
* Carruthers was targeted as part of a larger investigation
* Carruthers was held incommunicado until appearing at trial
* FULL TEXT of the fed press release announcing the indictment details

From the federal indictment:

" charged with 20 felony violations of federal laws including: the Wire Act, Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Conspiracy, interstate transportation of gambling paraphernalia, interference with the administration of Internal Revenue laws and tax evasion."

"This indictment is but one step in a series of actions designed to punish and seize the profits of individuals who disregard federal and state laws."

" As authorized by federal statute, the FBI is issuing letters to four telephone companies, instructing them to stop providing phone service to the Internet sportsbooks and casinos operated by BetonSports PLC"

"The indictment also alleges that Kaplan and Mobile Promotions illegally transported equipment used to place bets and transmit wagering information across state lines and that DME Global Marketing and Fulfillment shipped equipment to Costa Rica from Florida for BetonSports.com"

-----------

The news from the past few days made it seem like they were just leaning on Carruthers to help with the Kaplan investigation. But some of this stuff is very broad... "equipment used to place bets" is probably just a server.

Hmmm.

Please elaborate on the "Kaplan investigation" you mentioned above.

Maybe you can email him some free gay hardcore to get him used to the idea of what is going to be happening to him very soon.

He's in Fed prison. Less likely to experience "hard bareback unlubricated man on man anal punishment" there. The last sentence reads like a gay TGP gallery description

The usual bollocks and game-playing elric

David Carruthers does not owe any taxes to the US - he has no businesses there to pay taxes on. (Tho think this is more related to Kaplan?)

Going to be interesting from now. The war had already started with the US, but little doubts it will be strengthening up more at different levels

Yea... the usual response to the market $5 - much the same across the board. BOS stocks started dropping at the news of David's arrest and they have suspended trading pending stability.

Once this week is over things will get back to normal, - but smell a serious issue arising with several countries and the US now. There are a few very pissed off people and countries - not particularly connected to just gaming.
