Former Casino Host Indicted in Money Laundering Scheme

A former player development coordinator for Pennsylvania’s Mount Airy Casino Resort has been indicted in an alleged money laundering scheme involving player’s club funds.

The U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania has handed don a federal indictment charging a former player development employee at Mount Airy Casino Resort in a money laundering conspiracy.

The indictment charges 30-year-old Ashley Brosius with conspiracy to commit money laundering. The indictment charges that Brosius, a player coordinator at the casino, and a co-conspirator, who has not been indicted, used names that were stolen along with personal identification numbers, which were linked to player’s club cards. The unindicted co-conspirator allegedly aided Brosius in using the stolen information to create copies of player club cards.

U.S. Attorney Bruce Bendler alleges that Brosius loaded the duplicate cards with free slot play credits and gave them to the co-conspirator to use to gamble primarily at the slots. The criminal complaint alleges that the scheme laundered around $140,000 through the free-play system.

The federal charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment and a fine of $500,000.
