Gaming Commission Scandal

A statement released by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission reported that the investigation involving the Tokwiro Enterprises' Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet online casino and poker rooms has come to an end. The investigation on this cheating scandal was headed up by former New Jersey Commissioner, Frank Catania. This investigation was not only good for the law enforcement involved, but also the frequent poker players at online casinos. After all, this scandal is about cheating the very players that keep their casinos running.
When the scandals broke out, online casino players wanted names of the people that not only cheated them of their money but took advantage of them completely. This particular case cost people over $60 million in fraudulent poker playing in only 36 months! When the public demanded to know the identity of the individual responsible for these acts, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission would only disclose that is was a “former employee”.
Well, won't you be surprised to hear who the mastermind behind this $60 million scam is? It is none other than Russ Hamilton, the World Series of Poker Champion. Frank Catania named him as the “chief perpetrator” as he was the former owner of Ultimate Bet, the online casino. The former commissioner admits that Hamilton was not the only one involved but that he knew of the costly deception taking place. Online casinos operate and thrive on repeat users. I think it is safe to say that none of Hamilton's casinos will do too well in the future seeing as how the man was already a millionaire and he chose to steal millions more. Criminal prosecution may be in his near future.
