Fraudster Linked to Online Casino Sportsbetting

US citizens hiding out in Costa Rica should think twice when they consider themselves safe from government action. The US government issued an arrest warrant for one Jeff Pearson and the Costa Rica officials have acted on that warrant and arrested Pearson for hundreds of alleged fraud charges. All of the current charges are related to fraudulent businesses Pearson is linked to that have run in the United States and scammed roughly $13 million from unsuspecting US consumers. The link to the online casino gambling industry comes from one of Pearson’s alleged earlier business back in the early 90s – a sportsbetting site that did not come to fruition.

Basically, from the looks of Pearson’s history every business he touches is highly questionable and likely blatantly fraudulent or runs on the thin line of legality – everything from sportsbetting online casinos to selling coffee and even energy products. The warrant indicates that Pearson is facing 450 fraud charges now that he is in custody. He has based his illegal operations out of Costa Rica and used the power of the internet, phone technology, and the manipulations of the postal service to run a seemingly (by all appearances) business in the U.S.

The specific businesses in question were, once again, unrelated to Pearson’s early interest in the online casino sportsbetting industry and instead looked to sell franchise opportunities to US citizens. The fraudulent business has naturally been quite profitable for Pearson and the amount of money is question will lead to some very serious consequences for his actions.
