I knew this story was boring and wasnt a big deal. These freaks where just making stuff up as they go.

Its unfortunate that this hit right before the Olympics and I'm sure some of the more conspiracy minded will try to make the link that the feds timed this to distract the Canadians at the games.
Also unfortunate that Gretzky has for the most part had a scandal free career and it sucks to have this sort of baggage.

Betting has been going on nearly as long as pooning. I think the whole thing is a lot of Bullshit. I suppose some of the casinos don't like the competition.
I think the chief prosecutor is trying to make political hay for himself by dragging a straightarrow famous Canadian athelete through the mud.
The days of linking crime families to sports gambling and money laundering is hardly big news anymore and the prosecutor is trying to make a bigger name for himself through this tangential connection to the whole scandal. I am thinking a bid for the governorship in New Jersey after that huge scandal earlier.
Sports gambling is not illegal and for all we know the wife is thinking she is making a perfectly legitimate bet through that guy. I may be wrong but I don't think she ever bet on NHL games so there is no conflict of interest ala Pete Rose.

that doesn't seem right....dcuplover said:
Most online sites i saw were charging 15% for that wager....(either heads or tails)
So if she bet $25,000, she would win back her $25,000 + $21,739. (IF it IS TRUE, Mrs. Great one has gotta find another book
)I knew she would stray eventually. This is just the tip of the iceburg I'm sure. My guess is she not only bet behind his back, but she was no doubt having an affair as well. She had a floundering career and jumped at the chance to land the worlds best hockey player. Now the glory years are behind, and she has popped out a few kids and has become bored.
Anyway, this is just the way I see it unfolding.

I think it was done to rattle the Canada players, a little help for the gold. The timing is suspect, why not wait till the games are over?
