MONEY LAUNDERING
For more than a decade, California’s top law enforcement officials—including three Attorneys General—have worked to crack down on illegal gambling in card rooms. Today, Attorney General Rob Bonta is finally taking action to enforce the law. Card rooms and their gambling bankers have a troubling track record of flouting the law, including money laundering, misleading regulators, and illegal gambling—conduct that has resulted in millions of dollars in fines and penalties. Rather than cleaning up their act, these shady card rooms have spent years delaying accountability, deflecting scrutiny and denying responsibility. It’s time to enforce the law, hold card rooms accountable, and protect California communities from illegal gambling.
