A federal jury in Oklahoma City convicted two individuals
today for their participation in a scheme involving illegal gambling, announced
Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department’s
Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Sanford C. Coats of the Western District of
Oklahoma.
Kelly Dorn, 53, of Oklahoma City, and Kory Koralewski, 45,
of Parker, Colorado, were found guilty of racketeering conspiracy. Dorn was additionally convicted of conducting
an illegal gambling business. A
sentencing hearing has not yet been set.
According to the trial evidence, from 2003 to 2013, Dorn and
Koralewski conspired with others to operate Legendz Sports, an international
criminal enterprise that ran Internet and telephone gambling services from
Panama City. Legendz Sports took more
than $1 billon in illegal wagers, almost exclusively from gamblers in the
United States betting on American sporting events. Dorn worked as a bookie in Oklahoma who
illegally solicited and accepted sports wagers as well as settled gambling
debts. Koralewski facilitated the movement
of illegal gambling proceeds from the United States to Panama.
The case was investigated by the FBI and Internal Revenue
Service-Criminal Investigation, with the assistance of U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Marshals
Service.
The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney John S. Han
of the Criminal Division’s Organized Crime and Gang Section and Special
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robin L. Summer and Assistant U.S. Attorney Travis D.
Smith of the Western District of Oklahoma.
