[QUOTE=WFTV]Local, state and federal law enforcement officials and prosecutors said Wednesday they have charged 57 people for their alleged roles in an organized $300 million conspiracy orchestrated by Allied Veterans of the World.

Authorities said "Operation Reveal the Deal" uncovered a sophisticated racketeering and money laundering scheme stemming from 49 illegal gambling centers operating under the guise of Internet cafes or strip mall casinos.

You didn't mention that the Lt. Governor of Florida resigned because she was involved in the scheme? For shame.
