Allegations outlined in a 39-page complaint filed in U.S. District Court, Fort Myers, show that Michael Olaf Schuett is the target of a federal investigation related to online poker transactions.

Bank employees tipped off federal authorities over suspicious large transactions related to Schuett's company MCM Capital Management.  Those individuals attempting to cash the checks explained they were payments from Internet Poker gambling winnings.

FedEx employees likewise became suspicious over the 51 packages being mailed daily from his home. 

"Federal Express employees became suspicious of Schuett's activity when Schuett began mailing over 150 parcels per week," says a federal complaint alleging Schuett is involved in money laundering. "FedEx employees opened several of the parcels and determined that each contained a check."

 

Schuett is being held without bond in Lee County jail after a federal judge ruled Monday he was a flight risk.
