I'm in trouble

The state tax commission has a criminal investigation going on me. They have not told me all of the details, but I have found out that involves offshore gambling. How in the hell did they find out that I am involved in offshore gambling I have no clue at all. This investigator wants me to come in and talk to him and tell him "my side of the story." I live in Utah. This is pretty scary stuff and who knows what's going to happen. I'll let you know unless they throw me in jail before I can.

PM me.

I am not a lawyer but I've read the law.

I might be able to help in your defense.

Maybe but even 2+2 or any other ancillary poker site might be considered a violator of Utah's codes on gaming.

Read: "76-10-1104. Gambling promotion."

Nothing worse than a state prosecutor and a few words on a piece of paper.

First of all, are you sure this is a criminal investigation about gambling activity, or just an inquiry about unreported income that showed up in your bank account?

I'll join the rest in saying that some local legal counsel would be advisable, but be careful about jumping to conclusions about what the Tax Commission is actually looking for in their investigation. They may just be looking for you to report your income rather than put you in jail.

Could it be related to the bust of the guys doing uncoded CC transactions for sportsbooks? Even if you can't find an attorney specializing in this, get a criminal one to talk for you. You should never have any contact at all with anyone unless you are arrested.

Please explain.

wild guess: this is related to those sportsbooks that were the subject of a criminal investigation in Utah and the checks they sent out.

if that's the case, and taxes haven't been paid, OP *is* in trouble.

Yeah if you're involved in sports betting even my suggestions died a quick death. Poker you have some room.

To be clear before I ever speak to a lawyer I always do as much legal reaseach as I can, this way I don't have to pay for him to educate me on what I can read and understand myself.

I think of myself as a smart guy, but if the cops ask me for anything other than to buy a ticket to the policeman's ball or other ball, I ask if I am under investigation, he he even pauses I ask if I need my lawyer.

The 5th is a way of life.
For some that means in a bottle.


D$D<--loves Maranda

Was Mugicha sports betting, playing poker, or both?

If he was sports betting he's in worse trouble than poker, correct?
I assume that's because the Wire Act covers sports betting specifically?
