The new Assets Forfeiture and Financial Crimes section launched last month by the Maryland US Attorney’s office has again been in action against online processors accused of working for online gambling firms.
Six more bank accounts allegedly connected to online gambling at the Wachovia Bank held by Forshay Enterprises, Inc., are the current targets, with officials claiming there are grounds to suspect money laundering activity.
The current seizures bring the total number of seized accounts believed to be associated with online gambling to 15.
The federal information service Pacer carried an advisory on the latest seizure on September 23rd.
