Just came accross this on Gambling 911:

http://www.gambling911.com/online-gambling-032807.html

Gambling911.com has learned that there will be more charges filed against individuals involved in the online gambling industry on Wednesday.Little information has been obtained other than that the charges will be announced on Wednesday. It is not known how many people will be named in this complaint but it will be newsworthy according to our sources.
More information should be made available by Wednesday morning as we continue to assess the situation.
Gambling911.com was the first news organization to break the story of NETeller.com's cofounders arrests this past January, an entire 12 hours before the story was confirmed by NETeller and Reuters.

Hopefully this is just another article like: PokerStars leaving USA market.
These guys have gotten a lot better though with there news, years ago they would post anything and everything - I still hate them though lol

Yea right......that would be a new "life experience" though. Just in case the SUV's with tinted windows show up in my middle america suburban neighborhood in the morning, I am going to shower and shave before bed........and hopefully, well nevermind.

I'll believe it when I see it. The last "BIG" story they broke involved Doyle Brunson being in jail.

Yeah, I like G911 but unless something is cited or they give names I don't some of the articles much merit.

I would take the same position as the rest of the thread: I'll believe it when I see it. Besides G911's shadiness, it doesn't seem to make much sense. Why bring up more gambling charges this week? They've already had to drop the Sportingbet charges, release the Neteller funds, and postpone the Neteller case even further while they try to pull some sort of case out of thin air. Hopefully things will quiet down for a while after these nuts have had to run away with their tail between their legs... and $400,000.

It frustates me that these guys get so much good news and all these links as a result.
They are as fake of a watchdog site as they come. For those who just found them because of all the more recent important of news - these guys are super shady.
They offered guarantees on players deposits up to $2,500 if a book ever stiffed them. I've never one time heard of G911 keeping their word on such promises and have heard of many times where they have not. They spent a long time marketing the fact they had players backs so everyone would sign up with through them for the insurance (Guarantee) that a site would not stiff them. When players actually need to cash in on these Guarantees they can't.
They are in bed though with all those shady books (and a couple good ones) who absolutely love them and keep leaking them news.

Yea, the last few articles these guys have released have been not accurate at all. I wish they wouldn't be allowed to post up this nonsense until it is proven accurate.

"A bookmaking operation run by two police officers has been quashed by New York State police who are slated to announce the arrests of 18 individuals, most of whom are agents in the business.The offshore company cited in the complaint is based out of Costa Rica, www.50Ksports.com which primarily wrote business for the bookmaking group.

Suspects were rounded up throughout the night and early morning. Millions of dollars were run through the business, but an exact amount was not disclosed to Gambling911.com.

The charges are enterprise corruption and the investigation is ongoing with more arrests likely in the coming weeks. All of Wednesday's arrests took place throughout Long Island and New York City.
A press conference is scheduled later today. "

yawn. Someone broke the law and got caught. When do you think they will start making huge deals out of local arrests related to sports gambling?
