IMHO
No one has done anything wrong...
The only thing wrong here is that the US is really focusing on stoping online gambling.
WU tries to be in good terms with the US goverment, however, why would they invest efforts and company funds to monitor transactions... As I said before... The gambling industry generates millions of $$$ a year to Western Union, I guarantee you they are happy with that. On the other hand they also want to be in good terms with the US goverment. Who wouldn't?? Any ways, they can't allow one guy sending $10.000 in one month to the same @%@#% country and probably to the same @%@# person in 20 transactions... is just to obvious that those funds are not for helping your starving brother or sponsoring a shelter for the homeless.
So thats my belief...I don't think is nonesense... Why would Western Union deny probably... lets say ... $20.000.000 a year on gambling related transactions?? It is needless to say they want to be in good terms with Uncle Sam, on the other hand thats too much money; reason why they can't allow paterns and transactions that are easy to spot.
Just imagine first sunday of the next NFL season, let say that between Saturday night and Sunday night, John Doe from Texas sends 6 transactions of $1000 each to (latin name) in some south american country?? DUUUUHHHH GAMBLING HELLO!!!... in adittion to that... on tuesday this guy is expecting $5000 coming from another south american country... duuuuhhhhhhh Withdrawl....
So, my god, you don't need to have a PhD on Rocket Science to know what is going on...
Keep it quiet and smart and everyone will avoid these awful experiences...
