Seven Las Vegas residents charged with involvement in an extensive
Web-gambling ring pleaded not guilty at an arraignment and detention
hearing in U.S. District Court Wednesday.
Richard Carson-Selman, Henry Bankey, Tina Hill, Lombardo brothers
Baron, Count and Francisco, and Francisco's wife Kimberlie were charged
with 34 felony counts of racketeering, bank fraud, wire fraud and money
laundering, which carry sentences up to 20-30 years in prison.
Prosecutors say members of the group were involved in a seven-year-
long international money laundering service, which would distribute
moneys from sports Internet gambling Web sites to a series of
international bank accounts and computer servers. The funds would then
be forwarded to Utah-based companies.
