I love all the disbelief here to be honest.
Makes it more entertaining. :notworthy
You can say what you want, because people like you, how can I say it...haters are gonna hate. No matter what. I just laugh at people like you.
At SBR, almost everyone wished me luck that they paid me.
Here, more of you want to burn me at a stake.
I love how the way people like you think.
Well people like me, as you put it think this way because of some of the posts and answers within this thread and the past of the BetOnline website. I congratulated you if in fact you won. The problem I have is,
You declined to showed your deleted screenshot someone asked to see.
A member pointed out you were an accountant in your profile but you're not.
In my time of following casinos and sport sites I've never seen a huge payout approved so fast along with campaign shipped and delivered.
The person that got banned asked for payment proof and you declined to show anything.
Among other things.
And I guess the biggest thing that bothered me is the past history of betonline.com and their organized crime connections. So if you think I'm wrong for asking too many questions, sorry. Kind of goes with the territory.
For the others who wonder way I'm asking so many questions, enjoy. BTW- Not trying to be a party pooper.
MOB TIED TO ONLINE GAMBLING ARRESTS/BETONLINE -- 12/07
Authorities broke up one of the biggest betting rings in state history yesterday, charging more than two dozen members or associates of the Lucchese crime family with running the multibillion-dollar operation.
Using online betting sites, an 800 number and old-fashioned word of mouth on the streets, the ring processed $2.2 billion in wagers in little more than 15 months, state Attorney General Anne Milgram said. One unidentified high roller wagered $2 million in eight weeks.
Separately, in what Milgram termed an "alarming alliance," the Lucchese family teamed up with members of the Bloods street gang to smuggle drugs, cell phones and iPods into East Jersey State Prison in Woodbridge with the aid of a corrections officer, authorities said.
The case marks the first documented cooperation in New Jersey between the traditional organized crime families of La Cosa Nostra and street gangs, which Milgram termed the "new organized crime." Previously, investigators had assembled only anecdotal accounts of the mob and gangs working together.
"We discovered a disturbing new twist on old-school organized crime," Milgram said at a news conference at the West Orange Armory. "The alliance between the Lucchese crime family and the 9 Tre Gangster set of the Bloods was born of common interests these groups share: namely, violence, illegal drugs and quick profits."
Among those charged were two of the Lucchese family's three New York bosses -- a triumvirate known as "the ruling panel" -- plus the highest-ranking member in New Jersey, reputed capo Ralph V. Perna, 61, of East Hanover, Milgram said.
Three of Perna's sons -- Joseph M. Perna, 38, of Wyckoff, and John G. Perna, 30, and Ralph M. Perna, 35, both of West Caldwell -- also were charged, as was Martin Taccetta, 56, a reputed Lucchese soldier who was accused of racketeering earlier this year in Union County. Taccetta, the younger brother of former Lucchese boss Michael Taccetta, had been free on bail.
All were charged with racketeering, promoting gambling and money laundering, counts that carry up to 20 years in prison.
Martin Taccetta's brother-in-law, George Abdy, called the allegations "ludicrous" and claimed they were part of a pattern of harassment against Taccetta, who spent more than a decade behind bars on a racketeering conviction before a judge ordered a new trial in 2005.
"I hope it's not another effort by the state to frustrate his efforts on appeal and to interfere with his freedom," Abdy said last night.
Authorities charged 32 people yesterday morning, searching homes and seizing high-end vehicles, several guns, a hand grenade and more than $200,000 in cash. Milgram said state lawyers filed notice they also will seek forfeiture of seven homes owned by the defendants.
As outlined by authorities and court documents, the betting ring was a marriage of high-tech and low-tech.
Trusted bettors were given passwords for various Web sites, including betonline.com and bigactionsports.com, and for an 800 number. The bets were then routed to a wire room -- a bookkeeping center -- in Costa Rica.
Other bets were placed by phone or in person with agents, also known as "package holders," responsible for overseeing groups of bettors. It was the agents who collected and paid out cash, in some cases using violence or the threat of violence on those unable to make good on their debts.
In one conversation recorded by law enforcement, Joseph Perna instructed his brother John to find someone owing $7,000 and "make an example of him," according to an affidavit filed by an investigator in the state Division of Criminal Justice, which conducted the probe.
"Ya don't wanna pay ... bust his head," Joseph Perna says, according to the affidavit. "That's what I'm telling ya to do. Bust his head."
The bets were placed primarily on professional sporting events, Milgram said, but some cash was wagered on dog races. In addition, money was collected through neighborhood lotteries.
The average bet was about $1,000, but some wagered much more. In addition to the $2 million bettor, one person placed $900,000 in wagers in four months, Milgram said.
In many cases, the bettors worked for mortgage companies or other financial industries, said Gregory Paw, director of the Division of Criminal Justice.
The mobsters made money on every wager, charging a "vig," or cut, of between 1.5 percent and 5 percent, Paw said.
"Win or lose, the mob is always going to take a vig on the bet," he said.
None of the bettors was charged.
PRISON SMUGGLER
The alliance with the Bloods chapter focused on an East Jersey State Prison inmate, Edwin Spears, 33, whom authorities called a "five-star general" of the Bloods' 9 Tre Gangster chapter.
Milgram said the Lucchese family bankrolled the purchase of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and prepaid cell phones through Spears' brother, Dwayne Spears, 28, of Neptune, and used a corrupt prison guard to smuggle the items inside the prison.
The accused guard, Michael T. Bruinton, 43, of Ringoes, was paid $500 each time he carried items into the prison, Milgram said.
Once inside the prison, the items were sold under the direction of Edwin Spears, authorities said.
The prepaid cell phones were particularly troubling, Milgram said, because they allowed Spears to continue directing the gang from behind bars.
The defendants, most of them held on high bail yesterday, were due in court in Morristown this afternoon. Lawyers for several of the alleged Lucchese members maintained their clients' innocence.
