More of our previous discussions making headlines; specifically, online gambling world.
The owners of Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker and PokerStars, were charged with violating U.S. anti-Internet gambling laws (prosecutor's press release).
The criminal charges outlined a scheme by the company owners and some of their employees to direct the gambling profits to online shell companies that would appear legitimate to banks processing payments.
Which begs the question... what took them so long? All three of these internet venues have been advertising for years on TV--including NBC late at night which is where this press release is from.
