I Spy in Britain

If you are currently living in the United Kingdom and play at online casinos, this following story will affect you. According to Joseph Farah, the founder of WorldNet Daily, claimed in a recent article of his newsletter G2 that the British intelligence agency, MI5 is gathering up their best men in order to stop terrorists from using the internet, particularly online casinos, to launder money. The team of agents will be specifically trained to spy on the online casino that they are assigned to by spotting suspicious suspects and prevent them from laundering illegal money that will hurt them in the long run. He says that all of the spies have recently undergone crash courses in the matter.

Terrorism still remains a big concern for the people of the United States and the United Kingdom. The fact that the online casino realm is so accessible is great, but on that same token it can be a scary thing. There over 3000 online casinos where players can make bets twenty four hours a day. This means that millions of British pounds, Euros, and dollars go through each and every online casino every day. According to Farah, the general public would probably be surprised at how much of the money that goes through their online casinos gets diverted into training and recruiting terrorists. The author of this article did not give out his sources but made claims that are definitely worth hearing.

He has said that online casinos have been affected by this all over the world, not just in the United Kingdom. "Some of the largest bets have been traced to British gamblers using sites operating as far afield as the Netherlands, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Hong Kong. The follow-the-money trail has led the MI5 officers to banks in the Middle East and Pakistan," said Farah, without naming his sources. He later added of the terrorists intelligence, "It has been designed by some of al-Qaida's best computer experts and allows money launderers to place their bets at far less risk of interception by MI5 or other intelligence services." The point is that the British government is doing what it can to stop the online casino industry from being a venue in which terrorists can make transactions legally.
