Harry Markopolos testified before the House Financial subcommittee that his warnings as early as 2000 and on four subsequent occasions to the Securities and Exchange Commission about Bernie Madoff’s fraud went unheeded, despite his having given them evidence. They could have confirmed as easily as asking Madoff for trade certificates to prove that he was actually making the trades he was representing to his clients – and discovering that he didn’t have any. Markopolos said of the SEC investigators, “If you took a busload of them up to Fenway Park – they couldn’t find first base.”

Rep Gary Ackerman got only a stonewall from the SEC reps after Markopolos testified.

Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative Supports Legislation to Remove Unnecessary Government Prohibition on Internet Gambling

The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative announced its support for the Internet Gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act, introduced today by Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA). The bill would create a taxation regime for online gambling companies to be licensed under the recently introduced Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (H.R. 2046).

As Congress works to find funding for critical government programs, Congressman McDermott’s legislation is expected to generate between $6 billion and $25 billion in revenues for the U.S. Treasury in the first five years of enactment.

Congressman McDermott’s legislation functions as a companion bill to the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act, which would establish a licensing and enforcement framework for regulated Internet gambling in the U.S.
