Yea, right, one dollar bills hanging on a clothes line. What's the message with that. Money laundering takes a very long time. Know wonder they got caught.

Well, unfortunally online gambling and criminal activities are not that seldom. In fact, if I have had money to launder, I would choose online gambling too, it is too easy to do it and very hard to track it down but this is not good for the rest of us who don't launder money and just love the entertainment from this industry.
