May 17, U.S. Department of Justice — Money laundering indictment unsealed against major Internet gambling site operators. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia unsealed an indictment Tuesday, May 16, against William Scott, Jessica Davis, Soulbury Ltd. and WorldWide Telesports, Inc., (WWTS) for offenses related to the laundering of an estimated $250 million worth of Internet gambling wagers. The 12−count indictment alleges that from
April 1998 through the date of the indictment, Scott and Davis operated WWTS, one of several entities through which they illegally enticed gamblers to send funds from the U.S. to Antigua with the intent that these funds would be used for wagers on Internet casino games and sporting
events, such as the National Football League’s Super Bowl and the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s men’s basketball championship tournament, as well as baseball, hockey, and other sporting events. The indictment alleges that wagers were placed by toll−free telephone numbers and through www.BetWWTS.com and other Internet websites controlled by the
defendants. The indictment also alleges that by causing funds to be sent from places within the U.S. to places abroad, Scott and Davis engaged in a money laundering conspiracy.
