: Breaking Legal NewsKC man pleads guilty in online sports bookmaking
By (Breaking Legal News)
A federal crackdown on illegal online sports bookmaking has netted another guilty plea in a Kansas City operation involving more than $3.5 million in bets.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 57-year-old Michael Lombardo pleaded guilty Wednesday to conducting an illegal gambling business.
Prosecutors said Lombardo admitted conducting the operation from March 2006 to March 2009. The Kansas City-based business relied on a website with a computer server located in Costa Rica.
Lombardo was responsible for bettors who wagered nearly $491,000 altogether.
Two co-defendants pleaded guilty earlier. The case against a fourth man is still pending.
Sentencing for Lombardo will be set later. Under his plea agreement, Lombardo agreed to forfeit $4,000, which prosecutors said was his share of the operation's proceeds.
