Eliminating the Online Casinos in Taiwan

The Taiwanese government is not tolerating illegal online casino activities. And though the latest gambling ring busted has operated for over two years, the government is confident that it has a handle on eliminating criminal activity related to internet gambling. The gambling ring busted last month operated out of at least twelve locations and the police arrested ten affiliated with the gambling ring. Taiwan’s Criminal Investigation’s Bureau was tipped off about the online casinos gambling ring and the police raided the locations and made the multiple arrests. Of the ten arrested, a spokesperson for the CIP affirmed that they have the illegal online casino gambling ring’s leader in custody. Lin Min-chi, the ring-leader, and his nine accomplices are all charged with operating gambling and organized crime. The online casinos gambling ring was quite extensive, with multiple operating Web sites offering internet gambling, and even an underground sports gambling element. The spokesperson for the CIB also released information that preliminary information from the gambling ring’s books show that the ring netted more than US $3.08 million every month. During the initial raid and arrests, CIB police reported raiding 12 locations across Taipei, Taichung, and the county of Changhua and confiscating computer equipment, booking records, and more.
