Man Arrested in Online Casino Identity Case

Patrick Kalonji, from the republic of the Congo, has been accused of using his position within BetOnSports to steal the identities of those that come to play the games at the online casino. Kalonji has been stealing the identities of the online casino players for some time now.

Kalonji worked for the online casino, and was taking the names, social security numbers, and birthdates from the accounts, and had taken more than 150 of them already. He would then take that information and pass it on to other members of the same ring who then used it to illegally purchase things online.

He has been arrested while in Philadelphia and charged with conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud. If he is found guilty, he will face 30 years in prison and a fine up to $1 million. They have not set bail for Kalonji and some think they may not.

The online casino ran out of Costa Rica, and had employed Kalonji in their credit card department. The company has pled guilty already to racketeering charges and is cooperating with federal prosecutors to assist in their case against their founder.
