$50 million betting ring that operated across five states from New York to California

QUEENS DISTRICT ATTORNEY OFFICE

New York, Las Vegas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Nevada and California

“Illegal gambling is not a victimless crime. Those who participate in these criminal enterprises often use threats, intimidation and even physical force to collect debts and oftentimes charge usurious interest rates on outstanding debts. In addition to our NYPD and FBI partners, I want to thank our other law enforcement and governmental colleagues and authorities in other states for their cooperation and efforts in this investigation. So massive was the enterprise that only with their assistance could we bring these defendants to justice.”

The son of jailed mafia boss Vincent 'Vinny Gorgeous' Basciano has been arrested on charges of helping to run a $50 million betting ring that operated across five states from New York to California.

Vincent Basciano Jr, was among 25 people charged in connection with what police described as a mob-linked enterprise.
They included Gadoon 'Spanky' Kyrollos, and the three owners of gambling website Pinnacle Sports - which boasts of having customers in 100 countries.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said: 'Illegal gambling is not a victimless crime.
'Those who participate in these criminal enterprises often use threats, intimidation and even physical force to collect debts.'

Pinnacle sports owners Brandt England, of Las Vegas, George Molsbarger, of Santa Monica, Calif., and Stanley Tomchin, of Montecito, Calif., were charged with enterprise corruption, money laundering and conspiracy.
