They left some pertinent info out, however, seen at 2p2 and elsewhere:

'Pinnacle: May have gotten popped by US authorities as part of a larger crackdown on US bookies. This actually fits with something I read on Cappers Mall which indicated that Pinnacle had been using agents in the US and some of those guys may have flipped on Pinnacle when arrested.

According to Gambling911 - Of primary concern to some offshore bookmakers conducting business within the US in recent days is that some individuals connected with a major gambling sting two months ago in Queens, New York, may be providing authorities with information about other gambling firm owners.

According to a Cappers Mall poster with connections over at Pinnacle, the US basically told Pinnacle that they could leave the US market and walk free or they could stay and duke it out. '

If Pinny was offshoring bets for the Mafia, no wonder the Feds went after them.
