Guilty Plea in online gambling case
July 28th, 2010 | by admin |A Parkville man pleaded guilty Tuesday to his role in an online gambling business that attracted almost $3.6 million in bets between 2006 and 2009.
James L. Dicapo, 57, said at the hearing that the customers for whom he was responsible bet about $1.2 million during that period.
A federal grand jury charged Dicapo and three others in March with operating the Internet gambling scheme.
The charges alleged that Dicapo and others gave bettors a toll-free telephone number and access to a website where they could place their bets on sporting events. That information was routed to a business in Costa Rica that handled the transactions.
Local bookmakers, such as Dicapo, then paid or collected cash from their bettors weekly, according to court records.
Last week, Dicapo pleaded guilty in an unrelated case, admitting that from 2007 to 2009 he sold counterfeit luxury goods.
