Re: More Arrests Coming Out of Costa Rica
I think the best line of all is the one where they request if the guy is given bail, that he first fills out a form telling the feds where all his assets are...
Yeah - he's gonna open up a multimillion dollar booking ring, money launder, commit 20 felonies, but now, he'll tell them about all his accounts.
Unbelievable.
More unbelieveable is why the hell the guy stayed in the states.

'GAMBLING' BIG'S $1M BAIL BET
By IKIMULISA LIVINGSTON
NY POST
November 23, 2006 -- The suspected Las Vegas moneyman for a multibillion-dollar gambling ring busted up by cops last week posted $1 million bail yesterday.
Monte Weiner, 56, was extradited from Sin City and stood briefly before Queens Supreme Court Justice Stephen Knopf yesterday. He was arraigned on enterprise corruption, promoting gambling, money laundering and other charges.
Last week, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly announced a 33-count indictment against 27 individuals and three corporations all connected with the global gambling ring.
Using the Web site Playwithal.com and toll-free numbers, more than $3.3 billion in wagers on football, baseball, hockey, horse racing, golf and other sports were collected over a 28-month period.
Weiner's 27-year-old son Eric was also arrested last week and faces the same charges. He, too, posted $1 million bail. Both are facing up to 25 years in prison.
They didn't waste any time posting bail. :smokesmal
