The use of money laundering statutes against online casinos seeking to pay their customers continues as US investigators in Maryland have filed for forfeiture of three more bank accounts owned by a payment processing company. According to the Baltimore City Paper, authorities received seizure warrants for accounts owned by HMD, Incorporated on September 4th.

The warrants were filed against "“proceeds of an illegal gambling business" and stated the accounts involved handled money laundering transactions. HMD officials were not available for comment.

I can't seem to find any further information on this, does anyone know what's going on???

G911 has some further reporting on this, again, I can't find any further sources...

...the US Attorney's Office out of Maryland in conjunction with the US Attorney Office out of New York and Louisiana State law enforcement in addition to US Customers have been investigating Golden Casino, an online casino group.

Agents posing as individuals looking to join the online casino were routinely told they were not permitted to play at the casino from their said jurisdiction. Eventually, one of the customer service representatives allowed an agent to join the casino according to documents.



As part of the investigation, which commenced last August, law enforcement agents also met with US-based customers of Golden Casino.





The task force overseeing the investigation into this activity reported that small banks were also approached and convinced that processing for online gambling ventures was "not illegal" under current laws.



It is unclear as to why US Customs officials are involved in this matter.
Sources close to Gambling911.com have advised that more developments are likely soon in this ongoing investigation.
