Along with this came an indictment against the Bodog founder, Calvin Ayre and three more canadians. They have all been accused of operating illegal online gambling business and money laundering.

The indictment, which was made by the USA Attorney in Baltimore, Rod Rosenstein, stated that online gambling is illegal in Maryland therefore Ayre and the other three have been violating the law from June 2005 to 2012.

The indictment also states that Ayre and his partners have been involved in money laundering and the amount of money goes over $100 million, processed by JBL Services and ZipPayments.

Calvin has been accused also for making advertising to promote online gambling, since he ran a $42 million advertising campaign targeting players in the US, from 2005 to 2008.

Calvin Ayre stated that this move has been made with the help of undercover agents and fake documents.
