Six more bank accounts connected to online gambling have been seized by the Maryland US Attorney's Office. These were all Wachovia Bank accounts held by a company called Forshay Enterprises, Inc., with authorities claiming the monies are related to money laundering activity. Thus far, 15 accounts have been seized in connection to this ongoing investigation. A company called Electracash, Inc. had its accounts seized in the last couple of weeks as well. Accounts tied to processors owned by Edward Courdy and Michael Garone were targeted last year.

lots of gambling busts revcently, my take on this is that Brazzers (or some other client) tried sneaking in gambling proceeds through webmasterchecks, hopefully all they have to show is that they were not aware, they do not accept gambling, and thats it
So this explains it somewhat...

As you should know, we do not process for gambling transactions and have very stringent processes and policies to help ensure such.

As said previously, we are certain our business has all necessary licenses and registrations, has followed all rules and regulations to the best of our ability, and we expect to have a favorable resolution to this as soon as Mr. Kay has a chance to review our due diligence policies and procedures early next week. This is very good news!
Where did you hear this?

On a side note, that Attorney General's office is about 45-50 minutes from me. Should go give him a swift kick in the ass!
