It's amazing I was just at the Meadowlands and placed a legal bet at their sportsbook (Fanduel). It's time that the US gov't get their collective heads out of their asses and realize it's 2018.
Legalize Sportsbetting and Weed and collect billions in taxes.:shrug:

Sean was born and raised a few miles up the road from me and spent his college days in the town I?m from and live today. He became famous consistently beating all the local bookies, eventually no one would take his action. He rented off of one of my best friends. I had a sports forum from the early 2000?s until a few years ago and 5 dimes was an affiliate. Spoke to him dozens of times while living in South America only to find out later that ?Tony? was really Sean that lived in the same town as me and we knew many of the same people. He was always fair with me and one of if not the sharpest line maker?s in the industry. After spending a quarter of my life in Latin America it?s a real shame that smart money has it that those closest to him we?re involved and wouldn?t surprise me if authorities are directly or indirectly complicit. Odds are whoever is responsible will never be brought to justice unless the highest levels of the US govt would get involved. Which more than likely won?t happen since they wanted him in jail. Real shame. Seemed to be a nice guy. If you?re a gringo with money in Latin America youve got a bullseye on your back and need to know when it?s time to cash in your chips and get out.
I hear what you?re saying Justin, but especially in an industry such as this, it?s best to take ?hearsay? and gossip with a grain of salt. You?re going to find bettors that have hard-ons for every out in the industry, some complaints legitimate and others not. I always based my opinions on how I was treated, and ?Tony? was always fair with me and others I know. Just like pinnacle was just like the Greek was.
His mom and dad are gone, dad passed last year. No brothers or sisters. Just has his kids with his Costa Rican wife. Sure hoping that she wasn?t involved for the kids? sake. Has/had a wife/girlfriend that had a house a few miles away from me, she?s in Pittsburgh now and has had her hands full with US law enforcement after receiving 700K in Amazon gift cards from him a couple years ago.

I'm not sure I follow you? How was the US Gov't wasting time on him. I thought they basically were just going to arrest him if he came back onto US property. Otherwise, what could they have been doing?
Even if they were after him, keep in mind the millions of dollars that illegally went out of the US economy thanks to him. I'm not judging whether we should or should not bet offshore, just that it is illegal and probably shouldn't surprise anyone the US wanted him.
Kickserv. Champion of dogs. Wishes death to his fellow man. The irony has no bounds. A beef over tennis wager and wishes death. Celebrates someone?s death. Fucked up. You talk about someone being a man and aplologizing and I ask you. Would a real man wish death on another? Time to look in the mirror. I always joked you were gay and lived in your moms basement. Then I saw your Facebook page and realized I had been right all of these years. It?s sad you are such an angry person. You and yyz.

So what billions of dollars have been leaving the US economy for years...The US Gov't probably spent millions investigating Tony and 5dimes for what? Take that money and use it for child sex trafficking. Our gov't is still stuck in the 70's and things must change immediately. I can fly into NJ and go to the meadowlands and place a sportsbet at a window or via the fanduel app and load my banking info and make a transaction legally but if i drive 30 miles across to NY it's now deemed illegal by the US GOVT.
Christopher HeathI?ve never had any problems with 5 dimes and I?ve been using their service since 2011. The scumbags that are saying that are simply trolls, which seems like the operative word for someone just looking for attention to their comments.
Mark HowardMy prayers are to the family. I was bought down to costarica in 1999 to open 5dimes. He was very fair person and will be missed

He is either dead or faked his death knowing something was going down. I had one bad run in with him. One time my deposit never got credited I called the cs dept and they kept saying we never collected your funds call the certain company I used to verify it. They said the money was picked up already by the receiver at 4:48 pm that day. Without the money still. I was told to go to live Chat and ask for Tony. He got on and was a jerk to say the least. Called me a thief, liar, etc. I kept saying you people picked up my money already. I said I will keep trying with the cs. Dept. He said I make all the rules for scumbags like you to follow here and in life. Finally after getting a person in the cs dept with a brain. They found out the credited the wrong account. Well I tried to get to speak with Tony via live Chat again or over the phone. He was either busy or out of the office. He just avoided me so he would not have to admit he and they were wrong. Well for being an awful person, Karma must gave caught up with him.
Yep, well said. Your story just adds to the THOUSANDS of comments regarding "Tony" and what a piece of shit he was. But remember he only treats assholes like assholes:facepalm:
I say again, almost impossible to find anybody that liked him or thought he was a good person.

Didn't wish Tony dead but he was one of the biggest pricks i've ever seen. He booted my ass a long time ago and was a huge ass about it. All he had to do was say he didn't want my business but he had to have one of his huge meltdowns that he is famous for. A complete piece of shit in my eyes. For the future of 5dimes, i'm sure they will be fine. I already tried to reopen an account and got denied. :mj07::mj07::mj07::mj07:
add another to the list of the "Tony was a complete piece of shit" comments.
