"Moore's gambling business operated for roughly eight years, beginning in early 2017 and continuing until February 2025. During that time, he took bets on sporting events and organized block pools and other group betting schemes."
"Court records describe a setup where bettors had several ways to place wagers through what prosecutors called the Moore Gambling Business. People could bet on individual games or buy into sports pools, some with entry fees as high as $500."
"According to prosecutors, Moore collected roughly 10% of winnings from successful bettors as a fee. For standard wagers, his cut was built directly into the odds or cost of placing the bet."
