New York online gambling ring busted
An Internet gambling ring was broken today by the New York police, with the cooperation of authorities in New Jersey.
Total of 18 people were arrested by the Metro New York police, accused of being part of the $8 million a month illegal gambling ring. The bets mostly professional and college sports, with limits as high as $100,000, had been entered by computer to a “wire room” in Costa Rica, said Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore. Online casino gambling was also offered, in addition to sports betting.
