Preet Bharara, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and same man who indicted figures tied to online poker’s notorious “Black Friday” case of 2011, is currently overseeing the investigation into the massive hackings.

The data breaches “were breathtaking in their scope and size,” Bharara said during a news conference.

Investigators had uncovered some 75 shell companies associated with the hacking scheme along with 30 fake passports from 17 different countries. The criminal activities are alleged to have occurred for at least eight years.

The two men ran the Affactive and RevenueJet online casino programs that were licensed out of Malta, both of which have since been shuttered. The group often appeared under various industry monitoring websites “rogue” listings. In fact, they earned Casinomeister’s Worst Casino Group Award in 2010, 2011 and 2013.
