question of legality

johnho300 · Jul 20, 2003

anybody know the legal aspects of being an agent for an offshore calling center? the agent doesnt take the action ,just collects and pays the bettors,so who is held responsible?

from a newspaper article last year

a pine bluff man carrying 50k in cash arrivived at the little rock national airport on friday morning from las vegas and was arrested after he told police the money was for a bookie in white hall, little rock police said.

*******age 31 was arrested about 9am on charges of money laundering and maintaining a gambling house police said.

police said they discovered five bundles of $100 bills in his luggage. he gave the detectives verbal consent to search his bags.

police seized the money and he was taken to the pulaski co. jail....

does this answer your question?

how do you get arrested for betting? i thought it is only illegal to take a wager,not place one?

he wasnt betting...........he was an "agent"

granted he isnt the brightest person in the world....if he kept his mouth shut he mighta avoided going to jail...

my point is anytime a person has a large amount of cash (and no it doesnt have to be 10k or above) he better have receipts or a good reason to have it....

an agent that has a large amount cash and a sheet, and schedules gets pulled over for a traffic violation......would be under scrutiny by law enforcement....

johnho,

if you are referring to agents moving players offshore they still carry the responsibility of the players. As a player I had some exposure when they looked into my business, not comfortable situation.
