NETELLER payment system owners detained

In the United States, the FBI detained two former executives of the NETELLER payment system - Stephen Lawrence and John Lefebvre. The company was known for helping fans of online gambling transfer money from their bank accounts to accounts in online casinos and vice versa (in the case, for example, of a win). Recently, online casinos and other online gambling establishments have been outlawed by decree of the President of the United States.

Lawrence and Lefebvra are accused of "creating and maintaining a company engaged in the illegal transfer of billions of dollars from US citizens in favor of Internet companies engaged in illegal gambling," writes Card Player .
