BANKS AGREE TO BLOCK NET GAMBLING CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS
Ten banks have reached agreement with N.Y. Attorney General
Eliot Spitzer to begin blocking credit card transactions
involving online gambling. The banks agreed to pay the
Attorney General's office $335,000 to cover costs associated
with an investigation into the activity. The Office said
that the settlement is part of "a trend in law enforcement
to focus on intermediaries in combating illegal online
activity."
