ONLINE SPORTSBOOK ARRESTS IN N.Y.C.
Big Apple connections for 50K Sports reportedly arrested
As we went to press reports were coming in of another major sportsbook-related bust taking place in New York, where a Costa Rican sportsbook tentatively identified as 50Ksports.com (website down now) has operations.
Early and unconfirmed reports (the authorities are due to hold a press conference later today in the city) suggest that two policemen run the local activities, and there are reports of a total of 18 arrests mainly involving "agents" of the sportsbook.
Suspects were apparently detained throughout last night and this morning, and it is alleged that millions of dollars were generated through the New York end of the business, although precise figures have not been confirmed..
