Bodog Associates Charged: 2
The two men charged in this money laundering case for online casinos are Edward
Courdy and Michael Garone. As we stated in the last article, Courdy is being
charged with transferring $2,380,273 from a bank in Dublin, Ireland into the
Nevada State Bank; then allegedly using that money to promote online casino
activity in the United States. His partner in crime, Garone, is being charged
for a similar tune. His alleged money transfers occurred in April of 2007 and
were transferred from Frankfurt, Germany as opposed to Ireland. His money was
transferred from Germany to Branch Banking and Trust Banking accounts in
Georgia. Similar to his friend Courdy, the bank accounts the money was
transferred to belong to an online casino affiliated company, JBL Services, Inc.
The two men involved in this Baltimore based money laundering scandal are not
currently under custody of Maryland authorities and no court dates have been set
in stone. In keeping this case as quietly as possible, when the press inquired
to the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland, they declined to give any comment or
give out any information on the online casino case. One thing that may be worth
noting, however, is that there are a couple of dates and names that go hand in
hand with charges filed in California. Courdy and ZIP Payments filed charges to
hopefully get the money that was seized from their accounts. Stanley I.
Greenberg is their attorney working on their case which was filed in California.
Online casinos and their associates are often watched closer than the average
person in the United States.
