UB - Old news or new news?

[jillaj]

I believe Russ was the un-named person that was interviewed. I followed the whole thing and everything pointed towards him being involved or knowing exactly who was. However threats of violence to the people investigating the scandal pretty much put a halt to everything.

Oh really? Threats from whom?

[jillaj]

Press release regarding the investigation. Doesn't sound good for Russ.

[jillaj]

Those threatened would not say. The threats came after people were sniffing around Russ and some CEO's of companies associated with UB from the beginning.

What's this about?

5. Ultimate Bet shall immediately pay a fine of $1.5 Million USD to the KGC for its failure to implement and enforce measures to prohibit and detect fraudulent activities.

Why is the Kahnawa:ke Gaming Commission entitled to award itself $1.5m? For failing to uncover the cheating in the first place, then failing to act on it for months?

I think i read somewhere on Nat Arem's blog that he got threatened over his involvement in uncovering some stuff with UB, he also was a major factor in outing the AP stuff.

Also along with Russ Hamiltion I read somewhere that Freddy Deeb was involved but I could be wrong on that.

IIRC he received funds from the account that was sending money to everyone. He said that was payment for doing stuff for UB. I don't think there was anything else uncovered about him though.
