In an exclusive but unidentified report this week, the ‘Gambling911’ portal reveals that a major New York enforcement action by staff of the Queens District Attorney has netted 32 agents working with offshore sportsbooks. $300,000 was confiscated from one of those prosecuted in what was apparently a sting operation. It is expected that details of the affair will be released soon.
‘Gambling 911’ reports that law enforcement authorities obtained search warrants against the so far unidentified online gambling website and were able to monitor agent activity including a list of all bets placed and won by means of computer expert "code breaking".
The DA's office in Queens is expected to announce the arrests and provide more information during a press conference on Wednesday. As a result of the raid, wire taps were placed on most of the agents, tracing their movements between New York and Las Vegas. The group itself was based out of Hunts Point, The Bronx. Servers for the offshore sportsbook's website were based out of Florida and Atlanta.
