Hi Newton

Found your post very interesting - would it be possible for you to advise the US Bulletin Boards you have been looking at with regards to this company

guys I have to say i have a gambling magazine and a lot of client have pulled out because of this, this company will reopen but it will be worthless i think the us market for BSS is about 70% of there business, there only option would be to hit Europe in a big way, good luck to you all.

A quick lesson from the IRS as to how to make 4.5 billion in a day

Here's the indictment in full. Having read that lot I can see no possibility of BSS ever coming out of suspension.

Based on the reported personal liability which came with the criminal charges, I think the shares will open 60% lower or perhaps even more.

Good post Clarity -

There's a lot of rumour in the US Bulletin Boards about the integrity of these guys ? If the US Boards are to be believed they pay customers poorly, they have a "Gentlemans Club" in the office and the lead man a Mr Kiplan isnt even mentioned in the Prospectus (which I havent seen). Alledgedly he is linked to dodgy people. Usually there's no smoke without fire so I'd urge initial caution.

I do not see were any of this affects other companies mbaxter as it essentially claims this is a US company that has broken several laws. no other betting company is mentioned anywhere in the reported text.




The indictment alleges that Gary Kaplan started his gambling enterprise via operation of a sportsbook in New York City in the early 1990s. After Kaplan was arrested on New York state gambling charges in May 1993, Kaplan moved his betting operation to Florida and eventually offshore to Costa Rica. According to the indictment, BetonSports.com, the most visible outgrowth of Kaplan's sports bookmaking enterprise, misleadingly advertised itself as the "World's Largest Legal and Licensed Sportsbook." The indictment also alleges that Kaplan failed to pay federal wagering excise taxes on more than $3.3 billion in wagers taken from the United States and seeks forfeiture of $4.5 billion from Kaplan and his co-defendants, as well as various properties.

It looks like the allegations are that the company originated in the USA and as a result should have paid US taxes on its profits and they then moved everything out of the country etc.

SBT, PRTY, etc have not done anything as such and are UK incorporated companies

this looks even more a pure BSS issue especially when you note the telephone companies have been issued orders only against BSS who started in the US and allegedly paid no taxes and then moved equipment around before going offshore

Hi Chef. Situation not quite as clear cut as you suggest. See for example:

Here more details. Very bad news for BOS. Will have to wait and see the impact on the rest of the sector. Seems they had it in for Kaplan for sometime, however the indictment trumpets the more general wire act.



Perhaps Blair could negotiate a prisoner swap.
