Founders from Isle of Man based PokerStars have been charged with finance offences in the United States.

 

11 people from three poker sites were charged with bank fraud, money laundering and illegal gambling, including Isai Scheinberg and Paul Tate from PokerStars.

 

The other two companies involved were taken offline by the FBI.
