continued from German Immigrant in Custody - 1 True to the law, the gamblers have been held unaccountable, though Schuett is in deep trouble. The Naples Daily News reported that millions of dollars is said to be involved in the investigation, including hundreds of business and corporation names registered to Schuett. Also revealed in the investigation, FedEx was able to confirm to police that about 51 packages a day were delivered from the suspect’s home; each opened parcel included hundreds of checks. The case has already been filed in the US District Court in Fort Myers, identifying Schuett and his alias Schutt has the sole suspect in the illegal gambling operation. The judge deemed Schuett a flight risk, pointing out his limited ties to the US, the fact that he’d only been married for one month to a woman he’s known for nine, and his much stronger ties to Germany, though he has no employment overseas. With millions being processed daily, he clearly has the funds necessary to disappear, if need be, leaving him without bail and in police custody for now. Nine bank accounts have already been seized, and the investigation has gone far beyond Bank of America to include other financials such as Ironstone, SunTrust, Regions Bank, BB&T, Iberia Bank and Royal Bank of Canada. Company names spanned the spectrum including such DBA’s as MCM Capital Management Corp.; MI Global Inc.; South Naples Escrow Co.; Southwest Florida Payroll Co.; Woodhouse Systems; Mathew’s Trade Corp; and Internet Payment Services Group Inc. All firms were connected to the parent company USAG24, under the sole and direct ownership of Schuett. Police seizures are ongoing, with warrants for Schuett’s home and computers already issued. Others to claim his shipping devices, Audi Quattro, Rolex watches, cash and other property round out the list of items contended to be purchased with illegal funds. Many of the transactions have been traced back to one British company, Bluetool, Ltd, which used German banks for forward funds. Between August and December of last year alone, 28 different wires were made through Schuett’s companies, summing to an amazing $7.3 million. Schuett continues to deny any involvement in the online gambling industry. |
