Forbes: $24M Seized From Bodog

According to a Forbes article last week, the US government seized $24M from 'Bodog accounts' in the USA. The accounts belong to 'JBL Services' and 'Transaction Solutions', which conduct the customer payouts for Bodog in the USA.

Since the beginning of the year, $24M have apparently been seized overall, $14M already in January. According to Forbes, Bodog did not enter an objection against the impoundment of the money intended for customers - at least the deadline for the $14M would be elapsed in the meantime.

Furthermore, Forbes reported that there have already been investigations against the online provider since 2003. The 'U.S. Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation Division' did not only investigate the company Bodog, but also the founder Calvin Ayre.
