US Authorities Charging Man: 2

The US authorities have already begun to investigate the business and Schuett in particular – and the initial evidence is not looking too good for Schuett because his customers receiving the checks have claimed that the funds were related to the online casinos and internet poker. Schuett on the other hand, claims that the business handles international real estate are not likely to hold up as he has numerous bank accounts at a dozen or so US and foreign banks that were allowing the online casinos to process transactions with US gamblers.

The UIGEA is still in place and specifically bans the processing of transactions between foreign and offshore online casinos and US gamblers; it is a double whammy to Schuett that he chose to remain on US soil while illegally processing all of these online gambling transactions – he is facing very severe allegations and surely jail time and huge fines should the current investigation and trial conclude that he was working as an intermediary for the internet casino companies.

This has the potential to really be a landmark case in the United States if the case continues and the man faces trial for his actions – if that is the case Schuett will be the first man to be prosecuted and tried under the UIGEA and the controversial online casino gambling regulations. Although Neteller as a company faced huge fines, Schuett may be a totally different situation and he could face more serious charges – if this happens and he has a ruling against him, he will likely push it to the Supreme Court and contest the charges.
