Server 'Wire-Tapping' Leads to Illegal Gambling Arrests

Via WHIR News.

The wire tapping of servers has led to the arrests of several individuals associated with a New Jersey-based gambling ring, reports online gambling website Gambling911.com.

Investigators can easily monitor every online bet made by agents just as they would with phone taps, a source told Gambling911.

There are currently several ongoing investigations into similar groups that offer these online bets, where stateside credit bookies use offshore wire rooms to facilitate the businesses, and a website is often provided to make it easier for participants to place bets.

New Jersey authorities arrested 42 people this week in connection with a gambling and drug ring allegedly run by the notorious New York City-based Genovese crime family, reports Gambling911. Some of the arrested individuals worked as adminstrators for the New Jersey public school system.
