Eleven charged in illegal online gambling scheme

New York, NY, United States (NewsBahn) – The founders of three of the largest Internet poker companies doing business in the United States are among 11 people accused Friday of bank fraud, money laundering, and illegal gambling offenses.

The charged were unveiled Friday when federal authorities unsealed a indictment in Manhattan.

The government also seeks at least $3 billion in civil money laundering penalties and forfeiture from the poker companies and the defendants. A federal district court has issued an order restraining approximately 76 bank accounts in 14 countries.

Five Internet domain names used by the poker companies also were seized.

Among those charged were Isai Scheinberg and Paul Tate of Poker Stars, Raymond Bitar and Nelson Burtnick of Full Tilt Poker and Scott Tom and Brent Buckley of Absolute Poker.

In a statement, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bhahara said: “As charged, these defendants concocted an elaborate criminal fraud scheme, alternately tricking some U.S. banks and effectively bribing others to assure the continued flow of billions in illegal gambling profits. Moreover, as we allege, in their zeal to circumvent the gambling laws, the defendants also engaged in massive money laundering and bank fraud. Foreign firms that choose to operate in the United States are not free to flout the laws they don’t like simply because they can’t bear to be parted from their profits.”

The statement said owners of the poker sites “arranged for the money received from U.S. gamblers to be disguised as payments to hundreds of non-existent online merchants purporting to sell merchandise such as jewelry and golf balls. Of the billions of dollars in payment transactions that the poker companies tricked U.S. banks into processing, approximately one-third or more of the funds went directly to the Poker Companies as revenue through the ‘rake’ charged to players on almost every poker hand played online.”

After U.S. banks refused to accept payments from the gambling sites, which would have in violation of federal law, federal authorities said the companies persuaded a few small local banks in financial trouble to process their payments “in return for multi-million-dollar investments in the banks.”

John Campos, vice chairman of the board of a small private bank, SunFirst Bank of Saint George, UT, was among those charged in the indictment.

Four other men – Ryan Lang, Ira Rubin, Bradley Franzen and Chad Elie – were accused of being “highly compensated ‘payment processors’” who “lied to banks about the nature of the financial transactions they were processing, and covered up those lies, by, among things, creating phony corporations and websites to disguise payments.”

The indictment notes that in a press release dated Oct. 16, 2006, Absolute Poker announced that the company would continue its U.S. operations because “the U.S. Congress has no control over” the company’s payment transactions.

Two of the men were arrested Friday: Campos in Utah and Elie in Las Vegas. A third defendant, Franzen, is expected to appear in New York on Tuesday for arraignment. Bitar, Scheinberg, Burtnick, Tate, Tom, Beckley and Rubin are believe to be outside the U.S. and have not yet been arrested.

Commodity prices soar as investors seek hedge against global instability

Linda Young – AHN News Writer

Washington, DC, United States (AHN) – Global economic and political instability has made paper money less attractive to investors who are now driving up prices for commodities such as oil, precious metals and crops.

Sovereign debt risk in Europe and the U.S., coupled with Japan’s post-earthquake and ongoing nuclear crisis on top of political instability in the Middle East, is behind investor decisions to put their money into commodities.

That much liquidity in commodity markets is pushing commodity prices to high levels.

Wednesday morning trading in London saw gold reach a new record nominal high of $1,460.92 per ounce while silver hit a 31-year nominal high of $39.63 per ounce.

Oil settled at $108.34 per barrel, which pushed U.S. gasoline prices up to an average $3.685.

Cotton prices are around $2 per pound, which has many U.S. farmers scrambling to plant cotton this year instead of food crops such as corn, soybeans or peanuts.

Trade FOREX successfully with a minimum knowledge

It’s said that 85% of Forex traders are losing their money in the first three months of their trading, I think in some market cases it exceeds this ratio and may hits 95%, most of people say this loss is a result of trading while having no strong knowledge about Forex market, I don’t agree this all the way.
For me I think the most important reason is trading style including strategy, money management and risk management, another important reason is crowding up your mind with a lot of technical and fundamental tools and trying to apply all of them at once.
Theoretically all analysis methods “wither it’s technical or fundamental” are correct ways because they are only measuring tools, they differs in the accuracy of their results and this varies from time to time, they just give you inputs and you are responsible of applying these inputs that’s why I don’t mind which indicator you are using, just try not to crowd your mind with a lot of them.
To move yourself into the successful 15% you don’t need to know a lot in analysis field, you don’t need to have a big capital too. I wouldn’t encourage you to be calm, concentrate, look at your charts and go the way they tell you and such advices. We’ll be instead discussing the actual steps that you can take in order to get yourself out of loss and list your name in the 15% successful traders list. The best resource for FOREX  trading is MoneyTec MoneyTec,   – Active Traders Community Forum, Chat. MoneyTec is an online trading community that promotes mature, intelligent & respectful discussion in a positive & safe environment for everyone.
My strategy depends on simplicity as it just includes 2 indicators for the technical part of it. Let’s see how would it work:
a)    Money Management:
1.    First of all count your capital well and I mean by this the money you can afford to lose “this is rule no. 1 in investment as this will remove stress from you”.
2.    Decide your monthly return average expectation from this money : This will make you able to count the average weekly and daily return “Weekly and Daily Target”.
3.    Decide what will you do with your profits in case you achieve your targets, how much will you get out from it and how much will you re-invest : This will be enough to have a steady and stable trading strategy.
4.    Most important point, limit your trade size, this shouldn’t exceed 5% of your balance if you want to survive in this market.
These are all what we need from money management right now, it’s a huge subject to be involved in.
b)    Risk Management :
1.    Limit your loss : The whole money you can afford to loss from your investment budget.
2.    According to your daily and weekly target, you could limit your daily and weekly loss, so if it touch that limit you stop trading till the other period of time, risking of $1 per $3 expected profit is good while 1: 2 still accepted.
3.    Keep in mind that “If you lost a day, it means you lost that day’s profit of the total month’s profit” don’t try and squeeze yourself the day after to get a double profit, otherwise you will be spoiling your trading system.
c)    Technical Trading System :
This trading system is a common old system traders were used to use it randomly, we will be using it in a more modern way, it contains of :
1.    2 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of values 7 – 15 .
2.    Relative Strength Index (RSI) as a confirmation tool.
Well, now as we have everything setup, it isn’t so hard to understand that system, the usual way was used by traders is : “once EMA-7 cross EMA-15 you go with it, so if it cross to up, you buy, otherwise you are selling”, this is completely true but you need to confirm this signal by another tool like “RSI”, once you get Moving Averages signal you check your RSI line direction and value, if it’s positive you can start trading, if not you should ignore till you get a positive signal that everything is fine, your stop loss would be if the EMA-15 returns to cross EMA-7 and your stop loss would be 20% of your daily affordable loss that you decided before, so you have a chance to trade for 5 times per day if you lost all trades.
Keep in mind that you shouldn’t put all trade size limit “which you decide before while setting up your money management section” in just one trade, you may need to support your trade later or add more fund to it.
Last thing to be said is the classical advice “Don’t be greedy and don’t feel panic”, this is the best feature we have in Forex, take profit and stop loss points.

Bailouts cheaper than expected

The U.S. expects to recoup most of its bailout money. The $700-billion Troubled Asset Relief Program is projected to lose only $25 billion. But Fannie and Freddie are still consuming taxpayer funds. Almost three years after a series of government bailouts began, what many feared would be a deep black hole for taxpayer money isn’t looking nearly so dark.
