At the end of November 2012, a federal grand jury indicted eight persons in Hawaii Big Island. According to court papers, the gambling ring organized poker and craps games, but the bulk of its illegal gambling activity was from sports bets.
Using a water company as a front, the suspects took millions of dollars in sports bets using an offshore web site, World Wide Wagering (wager.dm).
The offshore sportsbook based in the island of Dominica had already been named few years ago in the sentencing of Robert and Steven Levine in Maryland.
The Levines had pleaded guilty to conducting an illegal gambling business and money laundering for their roles in running Sports International 2000, an offshore sportsbook that in 2003 became part of World Wide Wagering.
