U.S. District Attorney Kevin Ryan said the men collected wagers in the form of cash and checks from bettors in the United States on behalf of BetTheDuck.com.
They then handed over the funds to “runners” who transmitted or transferred the money to the gambling firm.
The agents, who were paid a percentage of their bettors’ losses, were charged with operating an illegal gambling business, money-laundering conspiracy, and conspiracy to conduct an illegal gambling business.
