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 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.
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.
