13 Busted in New Jersey for Running Internet Gambling Website: $2.2 Billion in Bets

Thirteen alleged members of the Genovese crime family have been charged with federal racketeering in a case connected to Internet gambling.  The individuals were rounded up on Wednesday (May 23, 2012), including an 80-year-old man.

Authorities allege that the multi-billion dollar sports betting business was run through an Internet website and office based out of the Web gambling hub of San Jose, Costa Rica.  $2.2 billion in bets were taken over the past 16 months, according to the complaint.  Payouts and collections are said to have been made on New Jersey soil via agents.
