Perhaps Not a goes by in the gaming universe without someone in a position of power somewhere being scrutinized by the feds anymore, it seems day. Now Cantor Gaming CEO Lee Amaitis is under the limelight, according to the The Wall Street Journal, on the coating tail of colleague Michael Colbert Cantor’s now released vice president of danger management whom pled guilty month that is just last knowingly accepting illegal bets.
Denial from the Top
Parent company Cantor Fitzgerald was quick to deny the rumor, however, saying in a issued statement: ‚We feel compelled to address this irresponsible and rumor that is baseless. The notion that Lee Amaitis is a target of federal prosecutors or that he participated in illegal bookmaking is baseless and false.’
Of course, Anthony Weiner also vehemently denied he was still sexting, so there you go in terms of denials of rumors.
Accepting wagers from ‚runners’ people who place bets for an operation is illegal in Nevada, where Cantor Gaming is headquartered.
It would definitely behoove the sports book company to distance themselves from any further insinuations of illegalities, given that Amaitis just attended opening ceremonies for a brand new Cantor Gaming battle and activities books at the Atlantis Casino on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The company now has eight sports books in Las Vegas, runs the Palms Casino poker space, and provides mobile betting apps, along with the new Atlantis book, which can be their first run outside of Nevada.
