The explosive condition of the USA Betting online, vaguely known to be against the law but with hard-to-understand applications, has claimed three more victims. Tom Cascone, local restaurateur in the Kansas City area, and two other men have been incarcerated for refusing to talk to a grand jury about Betting operations in their city.

Last month, the three were summoned to a federal grand jury in connection to an FBI investigation focusing on online casino betting operations operating in the Kansas City area. Refusing to testify, the three men were cited for contempt of court and incarcerated.

The case is connected to a March raided on several Kansas City homes as part of a larger online Betting investigation. But, according to local news sources, Cascone’s home was not among those raided, and he has not been formally charged of any criminal activity. He is being asked to provide information about other local figures involved in online Betting activity, which he so far is refusing to do.

Jimmy Cascone, the uncle of the incarcerated man, wondered to Kansas City’s KMBC-TV why the federal government was going through such trouble about online gaming: “In this day and age … they’re going after internet betting, which is a gray area,” he said.

This case is not connected to larger federal online Betting cases, such as the recent seizure of $33 million in online poker betting bankroll.
