From Reuters via Yahoo News:
U.S. prosecutors have delivered a severe blow to online gambling companies that are flouting a U.S. ban on Internet gambling by arresting two founders of payment processor NETeller.
Britain’s NETeller closed its U.S. Internet gambling services on Thursday, wiping out over 65 percent of its business, after two of its founders were arrested there this week.
NETeller is the latest target of a U.S. crackdown on online gaming, which began with the arrest of BETonSPORTS Chief Executive David Carruthers in Texas last July.
NETeller’s two founders, Canadians Stephen Lawrence, 46, and John Lefebvre, 55, have been charged with handling billions of dollars in illegal gambling proceeds. Both face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

BCS National Championship
Florida v. Ohio State
Favorite: Ohio State -7 (opened -8)
O/U: 46
By many regards, the Gators backed their way into the National Championship game. Florida has been solid all year, but what we feel sets this game apart is how both teams close out games. Ohio State wins and wins early often putting the game away before half time. Flordia seems to lack the punch put the game away when they have the chance and often saw their games closer than they needed to be when the clock hit zero.
We like the Buckeyes with at least a 10 point win. Both teams are extremely tough defensively, but in a game of this magnitude, offense always seems to come out and play.
Take Ohio State -7
Take the Over (46)
