So my cousin bets small and found an article on twitter here https://onthegamblersside.com/news/5dimes-money-laundering-probe/

So then I google 5dimes money laundering and there was a link deleted from SBR. Then I go to forum and I guess that thread was deleted and a poster was asking why his post was deleted

https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbooks-industry/3230773-5dimes-money-laundering.html

The fact that SBR is shielding this stuff they may know 5dimes is in trouble? I smell another betislands when SBR was shielding people from the BS before they shut down and stole everyones money

If you are with 5dimes I would say to be very cautious and withdrawal all funds

Some things to note

This is a Costa Rican investigation, not a US one

5dimes itself is not under investigation, but rather a manager

No charges have been filed

Bad publicity, but don't jump to conclusions

Might be 100% right. But the fact that SBR is deleting threads leads me to believe they will get through March Madness then disappear.

Also, that fact that it is a Costa Rican investigation is even worse. Dont you think they need all that money they just lost?!?!?

Where there is smoke, there is fire with all these books.

You think a Costa Rican is as sophisticated or legitimate as one from the US

When offshore sites get shutdown, it's the US DOJ that does it, or they close to US customers because of pressure

SBR should not be deleting posts. 5D is obviously a big SBR affiliate and they don't want bad publicity to spread. They should address it.

To think that means one of the biggest US offshore books is going to run away with they money is still baseless

Don't worry, 5dimes has all the costa rican officials paid off. This is why there hasnt been a formal complaint yet by CR. They will get out of this unscathed.

OR

A company loses a billion dollars and cannot pay its customers

I am not saying you are wrong but what I am saying is any company that has a 1 billion unexpected loss is in trouble. Imagine if this was a stock on the NYSE and Apple or Walmart came public with info that they lost 1 billion dollars for a stupid mistake by a manager .... would you buy or sell that stock?

My prediction is that 5dimes will cut alot of staff, customer service will get even worse, and they will cut off and limit people even quicker in hopes that those that constantly deposit and lose will continue to do so. 

With that said, next 30 days will be big with March Madness. Then April through August they will be in true survival mode. Not saying they disappear but people should not trust ANY costa rican based book (not much regulation) with that much cash, let alone a company that just lost a billion dollars

Who said they lost a billion dollars? They didnt lose a billion dollars, that article states they moved around a billion to different accounts.

That could have been profit.

You have to look at the losers running the show at SBR, that tells you all you want to know. They have no common sense, and have banned, suspended, or driven away 99 percent of the top posters of information, and all they have left is a kiddie playground of nonsense.

The entire US industry is done... too many issues with offshores for US players.  Getting almost impossible to trust ANY book with your money.  Good luck retrieving your money...  Where's the locals at?

Just deposited a $4k check today from 5dimes. No fees. Just stay with the rock solid books (US - Bookmaker, 5Dimes, Heritage, Betonline)

Can't beat the lines or options

Too much money from sportsbooks in Costa Rican for their government to hurt their own little economy. No charges filed. My money is on nothing comes of it

If SBR would stand up and not hide things I would agree nothing is worrisome.

The fact they are hiding thing are just like betislands. 

If you know anything about betislands, and SBR involvement / cover up and the correlation here you would realize something is fishy
