Six More Gambling-Related Bank Accounts SeizedMaryland and California at the Focus of Latest Investigation |
|
The focus of this case has been centered on Maryland, although most of the accounts that were seized were based in California, specifically the greater Los Angeles area. There were also accounts seized in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Authorities are saying that the bank accounts held gambling proceeds that involved money laundering.
This is not the first time federal authorities have seized bank accounts and their funds. The Southern District of New York made headlines earlier this year when its U.S. attorney’s office seized more than $30 million in online poker funds.
That case eventually led to the indictment of Douglas Rennick, who allegedly ran online poker payment processors.
The six accounts that were seized earlier this month were Wachovia bank accounts that were registered to a “Forshay Enterprises, Inc.” Previous bank seizures that took place in July and August involved companies called “Electracash, Inc.” and “HMD, Inc.”
