Las Vegas sportsbook operator CG Technology, the sports betting affiliate branch of financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald, has agreed to pay $22.5 million to the U.S. government for its role in an illegal gambling and money laundering scheme, authorities announced Monday.The settlement is the result a multipronged investigation that began in January 2013 and included U.S. attorneys in New York and Nevada, the U.S. Postal Service, the Internal Revenue Service and the New York City Police Department.Investigators said the scheme involved an illegal gambling and bookmaking operation, identified by authorities as the Jersey Boys. The group included a Florida bettor who owned a pick-selling service, an offshore sportsbook located in Costa Rica and executives at CG Technologys Nevada sportsbook.CG Technology operates the sportsbooks at the M Resort, Cosmopolitan, Venetian, Palms and Tropicana, among others, in Las Vegas.The Wall Street Journal first reported the settlement, which is a nonprosecution agreement that requires CG Technology to pay $16.5 million to the U.S. attorney offices in New York and Nevada and an additional $6 million to the Treasury Departments Financial Crimes Enforcement.According to the statement of facts released by the Justice Department along with the settlement, from 2009 through 2012, CG Technology, then doing business as Cantor Gaming, knowingly allowed the Jersey Boys, to place bets at its licensed Nevada sportsbook.Former Cantor Gaming vice president of risk Mike Colbert previously pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy charges from the case and faces up to five years imprisonment.Authorities said Colbert and staff would approach and encourage associates of the Jersey Boys to take specific sides of games that had attracted lopsided betting action, allowing the book to lay off some of its risk. According to the statement of facts, Colbert emailed someone identified as Cantor Executive No. 1 multiple times about buy back from jersey.Authorities say that after being informed of a potential $300,000 loss in April 2010, Cantor Gaming Executive No. 1 sent Colbert an email response: Thats unacceptable mike this has to stop we have given back out whole year and then some. I dont know what to say. I will be crucified in NY. We better come up with some strategy.Authorities did not name Cantor Executive No. 1 in the settlement but identified the person as president and chief executive officer of the company at all relevant times, who recently resigned from the company in late August as a result of a separate action brought by Nevada Gaming Commission.In July, Nevada gaming regulators fined CG Technology $1.5 million for inaccurate payouts and forced president and CEO Lee Amaitis to resign.Nevada Gaming Control originally fined then-Cantor Gaming a record $5.5 million for failing to discover that Colbert was accepting illegal bets. The $5.5 million, at the time, was the largest fine in Nevada gaming history.Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairman A.G. Burnett says his office is reviewing the Justice Department findings released Monday.As long as everything is within what we already settled with them for in 2014, then there likely wont be any further action by the board, Burnett said. However, if there is something new, it could be a different story.Authorities also did not name the Florida bettor but said he or she was the owner of a tout service that advised clients on how to bet on sporting events. The authorities also said that on Sept. 7, the bettor pleaded guilty in U.S. district court in Wisconsin to wire fraud, extortion and interstate travel in aid of racketeering.Florida betting tout Adam Meyer, a former bettor at CG Technology, pleaded guilty to extortion and racketeering charges in U.S. district court in Wisconsin on Sept. 7.CG Technology did not respond to a request for comment.

On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign. The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener. Uncapped fast bowler Vikum Sanjaya was the surprise inclusion in Sri Lankas Test squad to South Africa, which also sees the return of captain Angelo Mathews, wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal, and fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera.Batsman Upul Tharanga, who made a successful return to Tests on the tour of Zimbabwe, was also named, but there was no place for allrounder Asela Gunaratne, who had also impressed in that series. Wicketkeeper-batsman Niroshan Dickwella was left out too.Among the five specialist quicks in the squad, also, is 19-year-old Lahiru Kumara, who made his Test debut in Zimbabwe, and Nuwan Pradeep, who made his return from injury during the ODI leg of that tour. Suranga Lakmal rounds out the pace contingent. Dhammika Prasad is unavailable due to having recently undergone shoulder surgery.Sanjaya, now 24, had played in Sri Lankas Under-19 team, and though inexperienced at the first-class level, has been on the top-level coaches radar for some time. Bowling at speeds of around 135 kph, it is Sanjayas outswing that had caught the coaches attention. He had been among the wickets in Sri Lankas recent Mercantile Tournament, and more recently, picked up 6 for 73 in Burgher Recreation Clubs first first-class match of the season. All told, he has 38 wickets at an average of 33.78 from 17 first-class games.Vikum is a player we have been watching for some time, and a player who has done well in domestic and mercantile cricket, chief selector Sanath Jayasuriya said. Hes also been in our 20-man fast-bowling academy squads. We thought he was bowling very well at the moment, so we should give him an opportunity. And for a young fast bowler, South Africa is one of the best places to tour.Aside, perhaps, from Gunaratnes exclusion, there were no major surprises eelsewhere in the squad.dddddddddddd Dimuth Karunaratne and Kaushal Silva are set to open the batting again. The middle order of Kusal Mendis, Mathews, Chandimal and Dhananjaya de Silva, which had been successful during the home series against Australia, is set to stay in place. Kusal Perera will be considered for the No. 3 position again, and Tharanga is likely to be the reserve batsman.The selectors also opted for experience in the spin department; offspinner Dilruwan Perera picked ahead of younger wristspinners Lakshan Sandakan and Jeffrey Vandersay, to partner Rangana Herath.The return of both Chameera and Pradeep are a significant boon to the squad - that is if they can stay fit until the Tests begin. Chameera had sustained a stress fracture in the Headingley Test in May, and has been unavailable for Tests since then. He claimed match figures of 2 for 76 on a spin-friendly Nondescripts Cricket Club track in the last week, getting through 23 overs in total. Pradeep, meanwhile, had been laid low by a recurring hamstring injury, but had been sporadically effective in his comeback ODI series in Zimbabwe last month.Mathews, who had also been unavailable due to multiple leg injuries, will return to reclaim the captaincy from Herath, who had stood in during the 2-0 win over Zimbabwe. Chandimal has also recovered from his broken hand, and appears likeliest to take the wicketkeeping gloves.The team will leave Colombo on December 10, and is set to play a three-day warm-up match in Potchefstroom starting on December 18. The first of the three Tests begins in Port Elizabeth on Boxing Day, before the action moves to Cape Town, and Johannesburg. ' ' '
