Another New York gambling bust

23.07.2008

Details were still limited as InfoPowa went to press, but CBS is reporting the arraignment of central New York resident George Badigan (63) on Internet sportsbetting charges involving $57 million.

Badigan appeared before an Albany County Court Tuesday, accused of running a $57 million Internet sports betting ring from Syracuse to Albany. The indictment lists 25 counts of illegal gambling.

The District Attorney's office for Albany said that Badigan has been described as a 'gambling king pin' of Central New York, and that he ran the ring in this area alongside a Latham man.
