Multi Millionaire to Federal Prisoner - John Lefebvre
from Second Chance
In the late nineties, John Lefebvre was approaching middle age and living out an unpromising legal career in Calgary, Canada. Then he jumped on board a dot-com start-up as a founder of Neteller. As companies fortunes rose along with those of the online gambling industry, the pay-off for Lefebvre and his partners would be astronomical. But it didn’t come without a price.The firm's involvement in transactions serving the online gambling industry led to charges of money laundering, racketeering, running an unlicensed money transmitting business and promoting illegal gambling. Lefebvre was charged in connection with the creation and operation of an Internet payment services company that facilitated the transfer of billions of dollars of illegal gambling proceeds from U.S. citizens to the owners of overseas internet gambling companies. He pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to promote illegal internet gambling transactions and served 45 days in Federal Prison.Links: WebsiteFacebookSecond Chance Podcast Links:WebsiteBuzzsproutApple PodcastAudibleFacebookDonation Support:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/secondchance1Support the show Hosted on Acast.
