KANSAS CITY, MO—Beth Phillips, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Harrisonville, Mo., man pleaded guilty in federal court today to conducting an illegal gambling business that relied on a website with a computer server located in Costa Rica.
William D. Cammisano, Jr., also known as "Willie," 60, of Harrisonville, waived his right to a grand jury and pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge John T. Maughmer this morning to a federal information that charges him with conducting an illegal gambling business.
By pleading guilty today, Cammisano also agreed to forfeit $60,368 to the government, which represents his share of the profits from the gross wagers of the illegal gambling business. The money was seized by FBI agents while executing a search warrant at Cammisano's residence on March 31, 2009.
