US Indictment Charges Antigua Gambling Website Operators
Two operators of an Antigua-based Internet gambling site have been indicted on US charges of money-laundering involving some 250 million dollars of wagers, officials announced Wednesday. The indictment unsealed in Washington this week against the operators of WorldWide Telesports, Inc. charges two companies and two individuals with violation of US money-laundering laws, the Justice Department said in a statement.
"This indictment underscores the Justice Department's commitment to attacking illegal Internet gambling concerns by using federal anti-money laundering laws," the agency said in a statement. Charged in the indictment, filed in April 2005 and unsealed Tuesday, were 65-year-old William Scott, who renounced his US citizenship and had been living in the tiny Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda; and Jessica Davis Dyett, a 35-year-old US citizen alleged to have authority over various bank accounts of the operation.
