It all seems like amateur hour. Did they really think no one was going to look into a bunch of people creating new accounts on the day of the game to max out on one highly specific bet? all for a hundred k? These people suck at being criminals. .

a chinese couple got murdered in newcastle 15 years ago over a betting scam related to the time delays between live broadcasts vs phones and putting bets on. some real grim details in this article but at least they caught one of the killers

I'm amazed that people were allowed to place bets on things happening in a foreign league two seconds before they did, and nobody picked it up. Or even that the bet wasn't timestamped with the time it was placed and the actual time of the card or goal or whatever wasn't retrieved to show that the bet happened afterwards.

Wasn't that a big thing with the tennis for a while because there was a delay with updating the points online but someone at the match could sneak in and place a bet

yeah some fella just had a job attending the most minor tennis matches all around europe and would “umpire” a second before the actual umpire could call it and push the button on his ipad

he himself didn’t do any betting (that would get him banned/jailed), but he was employed by some shady guys somewhere in china i think? it was a very professional operation however, not just setting up 15 ladbrokes accounts a day before the match and maxing out a single bet under the “match fixing” tab

“Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged. That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for.

“All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United. It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.”

It's possible she didn't want to talk, and there might not be much value in talking to someone who has been a victim of coercive behaviour anyway, but they don't really need to because there's a heap of primary evidence sat right there.

Rubiales linked the events of the past days to what he described as “false feminism, one of the scourges of this country”. The remark sparked a smattering of applause from the federation members in the audience.
