5dimes Players: RUN AWAY

[pocketrockets]

Like you said yourself you get Banking of CR involved, laundering not to mention ample other angles of Intrigue....

...but yeah, I get and appreciate your very competent expression of how hard this is hitting over there, exactly how big a thud has been caused.



Thus Far.


Prior I did not grasp this was that big of a deal.

Thank you $linedog, I for one, think this is SUPER IMPORTANT for all players playing with them.

Isnt this the 3rd thread about this?

Also, i know a guy who just pulled out & got paid $10,000 just this week...

2nd thread I believe, but still is VERY IMPORTANT for it to be discussed and disclosed up here... way more important than other BS threads posted here like (at what time you woke up, JC farts Taco Bell 24/7, etc etc)

 

[pocketrockets]

if you're asking to post a photo of Tony, we won't allow it.

Nope. I know that's against the rules, I wanna post pics of the newspaper, of the 2 covers disclosing 5D's operations and purchases using the now famous Amazon gift cards.

 

[pocketrockets]

Maybe I'm wrong, but judging by similar cases in the past, it appears as if the U.S. Feds cant touch anyone from offshore books unless they have actually set foot in & operated in some way on U.S. soil.

This was the case in past busts...

He committed crimes in the US and CR as well, the money laundering and the way they are doing it qualifies for the RICO statute... if he gets arrested here, he will get deported to the US and that is actually my prediction unless of course he admits he is not GOD and flees Costa Rica.

Can you guys give me another book for US players that has reduced juice and comparable teaser odds to what 5 dimes offers?

It used to be that CR would not extradite for money laundering if it was gambling related. We'll have to see if the climate is changing.

How long has it been since they have been really faced with the issue, the question?

I can't say for sure because I've never played offshore, but I've heard that Heritage is very similar to 5 dimes.

Nobody has yet been extradited for $ laundering in relation to bookmaking. Taking a bet is not illegal here so it is not really money laundering. We will see if this changes.

 

[JudgeWapner]

They could in theory extradite him for tax evasion. Or just deport him.

I wondered how long it has been since CR really had to deal with the question. If its been 10 years thats one thing but if they have resisted Extraditing, say, 2 years ago then that is another.

Hard to imagine the guy doesn't just Bail and Flee. How much louder of a Starting Bell would a dude need than this lol.

In a deal like that, is CR making any effort to stop a guy from fleeing?

Are they watching a Guy?

 

[JudgeWapner]

To my knowledge they have never cared to get involved in any bookmaking charges. They have always seemed indifferent. I am speaking of the last 15 years.

JW has a point here, however it all depends on how much leverage the USA government has on CR... how bad they want this guy and his money, You know the big dogs are discussing what to do with this, so much exposure on the press I dont think they can ignore it.

Obviously CR benefits massively from the presence of bookmaking and wishes to keep the Staus Quo.

Do you happen to know, pockets, how much CR would care to keep a guy from escaping to say......Dubai?

Is this question the exact same as asking: How Good are Tony's connections? Within CR Government?

I have no info at all on that but one has to assume that a guy like Tony who lives a luxurious life probably knows some government officials, he can basically bribe anyone into not deporting him as well, the question for me is... how hard is the US willing to squeeze CR to get this guy and his $$$? ultimately the US has quite the incidence in CR political decisions, CR depends on the US economy.

Also while books in CR pay the lgal taxes and employ hundreds of people, the business and its influence is on the decline for years now, there used to be hundreds of shops 15 years ago, now there is dozens if we count the online casino/poker ventures. CR is not openly attracting sportbooks nor promoting itself as a gambling safeheaven.

That would be a very interesting Path to Follow....exactly why that is.

No Doubt various factors contributing but That Main Reason for this would be interesting to know.

Of Course I assume US Pressure on CR to take this path is the Main Reason

Maybe not though?

i saw the article and read the obituary that is linked with one of these people with 5 dimes who is in the states right now. that's developing slowly.

the us indictment has to do only with amazon payments at the moment. they want to shut down 15 or so accounts they have with amazon.

 

[Willye]

@)Such a shame a truly stand up guy... In many ways...

 

[jensinc]

I don't know him but ... Tony is likely a CR citizen now, and has done nothing wrong here. He's fine in this country. The US flashing badges and shouting loudly isn't going to change anything.

As far as the business goes, there are many other payment options.

The local reporters are trying to get their name out there with stories like this. They keep digging, but nothing ever happens otherwise.

Yeah I'm thinking the only thing that happens in all of this is Amazon will be more careful from here on out.


Damn U.S. Feds/Homeland Security need to get their priorities straight as there are plenty of other things that need attention besides people betting offshore.

And don't come at us with the 'Money Laundering for terrorism' crap either...
