"A Harvard researcher who studies gambling regulation said it takes five to seven years after legalization for a country to become “painfully aware of all the misery that increased access wreaks on public health, public finances, and so on.”

We’re at year seven, so, I suppose we’re right on time."

#OnlineBetting #MoneyLaundering #FanDuel #FBI #USA: "Over the coming weeks, leading up to last month, Bogomolny dutifully transferred the clients’, now purportedly clean, $20,000 back to them, minus a 6 percent cut for his washing services. He then agreed to launder another $50,000.

But they were no ordinary customers. Instead, they were undercover FBI agents investigating a sprawling money laundering enterprise. New court records and reporting from 404 Media peel back the curtain on how at least one professional money laundering crew has turned to FanDuel as a way to wash other criminals’ ill gotten gains, with Bogomolny potentially pushing millions of dollars through the betting service, according to an FBI-written criminal complaint unsealed this week.

Bogomolny’s alleged scheme highlights that while sports betting has opened up for fans around the country, it has also introduced a greater attack surface for money laundering. The U.S. Treasury Department warned in February of such risks; now the FBI alleges those risks have become a reality. Bogomolny’s machinations also allegedly involve a dizzying array of CashApp and PayPal accounts, Bitcoin transfers, massage parlors, and even a hacked gym in Ohio." https://www.404media.co/how-a-money-laundering-crew-allegedly-moved-millions-through-fanduel/
