Quick NETeller Update

It looks as though the government has gotten yet one more continuance in the case against NETeller. This would make the fourth continuence that the feds have gotten against the company since it brought charges against them.

The United State Government asked a New York federal judge for another continuance, making this number four for the government. The US Department of Justice had brought charges of money laundering and tax evasion against the two men, Steven Lawrence and John Lefebvre, who started NETeller.

What does not make sense is that the two men had left the company months before it became an issue to be involved in online gambling, and many think that the continuances are simply stall tactics that the government is using to intimidate other online gamblers.

They are also able to hold onto gamblers’ money while they continue the case, which many see as yet one more form of harassment. There are many who would like to see their money returned, but are fearful of making waves since the government is obviously not afraid to throw allegedly innocent people in jail.
