A Missouri man has been charged with money laundering related to online gambling.

Kenneth Wienski is alleged to have been helping to concoct an online gambling payment-processing scheme that hid the true nature of the transactions by moving funds through a medical-billing company and a check-processing company where he worked.

The complaint includes mention of payment processing companies JBL Services, ZipPayments, and Electracash but makes no mention of either Edward Courdy or Michael Garone, both of whom were mentioned in previous filings as having ties to the aforementioned enterprises.

Wienski has not yet had a court appearance, nor is one scheduled.  Any legal representation is not immediately known.

The complaint against him also discusses various confidential informants including one who "had been personally involved in processing gambling payouts".
