The ring, which was broken up last November after a 20-month investigation by the New Jersey State Police, was run by a rumored “Mob associate” and is estimated, according to Attorney General Anne Milgram, to have processed more than $60 million in illegal sports wagers. The Borgata itself was not involved in any way with the operation, and is reported as having assisted with the breaking up of the ring.

The operation, which is also alleged to have processed sports bets through at least two online sites and a Philadelphia-based “wire
room,” included several employees of the Borgata’s poker room. Andrew Micali, 32, and Jack M. Buscemi Jr., 50, are named as the leaders of the operation; among the other defendants named are Joseph Wishnick, 43, a former supervisor at the Borgata poker room, and Jeffrey Ebert, 45, who held a similar post at the Tropicana, also in Atlantic City. Wishnick and Ebert are alleged to have been agents who brought in bets for the ring. 20 other defendants have been named in the charges, which include racketeering, conspiracy, money laundering, promoting gambling and criminal usury. Not all of the defendants face all of the charges.
