A $2.2 billion illegal gambling gang busted in New Jersey.

The attorneys for several defendants accused of illegal sports betting operations are required to have their fees disclosed as the latest casino gambling news report.

While the lawyers declined to disclose their compensation, claiming attorney-client privilege, the judge, nevertheless, stated they are required to disclose the fees as it is suspected the money used to pay for the legal defense comes from illegal business. It is suspected the defendants made as much in transactions as $2.2 billion over a short span of 15 months.

The group allegedly used complex transactions and Costa Rican bank accounts to process the wagers. Those who failed to pay for lost bets were bullied and threatened with physical harm. It has also been found that the defendants, without a history of employment, were able to deposit large sums of cash and didn’t file income taxes.

While this story pertains to illegal sports betting, it is not new to the illegal casino gambling where those found making losing black jack strategies, and failing to pay to the mobsters gambling loans plus interest, were found dead in rivers with their legs cemented to bathtubs.

In yet another gruesome illegal gambling story, a group of card counting system players and cheaters, known as Blackjack Cream Puffs, met with a dangerous gang, known as Rikers Island Jail Lollies, to have a poker match. The investigators are still seeking to find the remaining bodies.

Players need to beware at which gambling table they sit.
