MANHATTAN (CN) - A publicly traded Canadian Internet company will disgorge $9.1 million in criminal proceeds from its illegal gambling and money transmissions, under a deferred prosecution agreement, federal prosecutors said. Entertainment Systems Inc. and its subsidiary Citadel Commerce Corp. processed more than $2 billion for U.S. customers from 2002 until January 2007.
According to the criminal information filed in Federal Court, ESI will disgorge $9.1 million and cooperate with investigators. If ESI behaves for 18 months, prosecutors will dismiss the information.
