Federal charges filed over stolen-identity gambling fraud
Legal Policy Action UpdateU.S. federal authorities arrested Amitoj Kapoor and Siddharth Lillaney of Glastonbury, Connecticut, after a 45-count federal grand jury indictment alleged that they used stolen identities from about 3,000 victims to open fraudulent accounts on FanDuel, Draft Kings, and BetMGM, exploit new-user bonuses, and move winnings through virtual stored-value cards into bank and investment accounts. Prosecutors also alleged that Kapoor kept victims' PII in Tracker.xlsx and that the defendants used TruthFinder and BeenVerified to answer verification questions when opening the gambling accounts.
