FBI Arrests Neteller Execs

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the jig-is-up dept.

Alcibaides writes "In a follow-up to the 2006 law attacking Internet gambling, the FBI arrested two former Neteller executives in 'connection with the creation and operation of an Internet payment services company that facilitated the transfer of billions of dollars of illegal gambling proceeds.' Apparently, the execs were 'ambushed' as they passed through the U.S. on connecting flights. Consequently, Neteller has dropped all gambling-related activity to U.S. customers, a move not expected for several months."

    I think Jon Stewart sums it up pretty well. Some things are so absurd they're actually funny.

    ok now I am really worried as a Britt living in the US for 7 years. I wanna know what is going to happen to my insurance rates when the police here finally give me all the tickets for driving on the wrong side of the road for 15 years.
