A federal grand jury based in Baltimore, Maryland returned more indictments charging two businesses and three defendants with conducting money laundering and operating illegal gambling business. As part of the investigation, 11 bank accounts located in Charlotte, North Carolina; Guam; Panama; Malta; Portugal; and the Netherlands; and domain names associated with 10 internet gambling sites were also seized today.

The following internet domain names were seized pursuant to court order:

Bookmaker.com
2Betsdi.com
Funtimebingo.com
Goldenarchcasino.com
Truepoker.com
Betmaker.com
Betgrandesports.com
Doylesroom.com
Betehorse.com
Beted.com

Banking accounts in the United States, Portugal, Panama, Netherlands and Malta were seized.

The domains were all associated with the Yatahay network.

Maryland officials admitted having set up a fake payment processor, called Linwood, to target illegal payment processors and the poker rooms and sportsbooks that use them.
“These indictments are the direct result of impressive undercover investigative work by our agents, along with the close collaboration of our law enforcement partners here in Maryland,” said William Winter, Special Agent in Charge of ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Baltimore. “The proceeds from illegal Internet gambling are often used to fuel organized crime and support criminal activity. ICE HSI will work diligently to uncover illicit transactions involving these types of financial crimes. Together, with our law enforcement partners, we will disrupt and dismantle organizations that commit these crimes, regardless of their location, whether here in the United States or abroad."
Just last week, Doyle Brunson announced his departure from Doylesroom which has led to speculation that he was aware of the impending action.
