Ahmad Khawaja the owner of payment processors Allied Wallet Inc. and Allied Systems Inc made good on a civil forfeiture agreement made with the FBI and enforced through the U.S. District Court of New York in June of 2009.
The federal government has received a payment of $13.3 million from the payment processor that is tied to the world’s largest online poker operation, PokerStars.
The companies agreed to forfeit the funds in an agreement that allowed them to stay out of legal trouble under the United States Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006. The FBI accused them of money laundering claiming that the funds deposited into several bank accounts and as winnings through PokerStars and other casino websites represented funds from an illegal gambling operation from January to May 2009.
PokerStars was not directly involved with the illegal activity and issued a statement saying, “PokerStars does not condone efforts by processors to conceal the nature or purpose of funds used to play online poker. PokerStars has taken steps to ensure that processors properly disclose the nature of their business to their relevant financial institutions.”
