DEMAREST, JR., the Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), announced today the filing of an Indictment charging DOUGLAS RENNICK with bank fraud and other offenses stemming from his role in processing more than $350 million for Internet gambling companies, according to Gambling911.com sources.
Rennick was processing for online gambling companies via his firm, ATM Online, which has long been shut down.
