Jeter update

Injury Update : Derek Jeter (calf) is unlikely to
come off the DL when eligible on Sunday. “I
wouldn’t think so,” said Joe Girardi . The Cap’n
has been playing catch and taking batting
practice, but he’s yet to run full speed.
Considering how quickly he got re-injured the
first two times he came off the DL, expect the
team to be a little more careful now.

Five Billion Dollar Sports Gambling Ring Busted In North Texas

PLANO (CBS 11 NEWS) – Law enforcement
officials have busted a major sports gambling
ring that originated in North Texas and
generated more than $5.4 billion in bets.  The
seven-year investigation has resulted in the
convictions of 18 North Texans, who worked as
bookies for the operation.
According to Plano police, the investigation
started with a tip that came into the department
in 2006. At that time, an undercover officer
made contact with a bookmaker affiliated with
Global Internet Corportation, an offshore sports
book headquartered in Curacao. GIC has been
in operation since 2002.
Throughout the investigation, law enforcement
identified 18 people who accepted professional
and college sporting event bets through more
than two-dozen websites hosted in Curacao.
Some of those bets were placed by undercover
officers, as explained by U.S. Attorney John M.
Bales.
“The team used undercover operatives who
acted as bettors. They opened undercover
bank accounts and executed court ordered
intercepts of three of the gambling websites.
Virtually every meeting was electronically
monitored and the undercover agents placed
almost 300 bets,” he said.
From January 2007 until February 2011, the
gambling ring made more than $200 million in
profits. Law enforcement executed 79 search
and seizure warrants in early 2011, taking stacks
of cash, cars, homes, sports memorabilia, and
other property.
All 18 defendants have pleaded guilty to a range
of crimes including money laundering, illegal
gambling, and tax violations.
