The Ontario-wide bust of a “sophisticated” illegal gaming operation allegedly involving Hells Angels members has led to 28 people facing a combined 228 charges.
Members of the Ontario Provincial Police, along with 18 province-wide partner agencies, seized millions of dollars’ worth of goods while shutting down a “lucrative online and traditional gaming enterprise involving members of known organized crime groups.”

It's clear that this investigation is related to a few other major events.

1. The murder of Michael Deabaitua-Schulde http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/u...;Main=38425&Number=966098#Post966098

2. Project Sindacato (The take down of the Figliomeni clan in Woodbridge) http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/u...;Main=38714&Number=975185#Post975185

3. Ties to the big Platinum Sportsbook bust of 2013 in Ontario

Some of you might remember the Platinum Sportsbook takedown in Ontario, also run by the Hells Angels ..

This piece is from Adrian Humphrey's article last week in which he wrote about Barletta's takedown and court appearance last Friday but at the time of writing, Humphry's didn't know what was really going on as Police wouldn't comment until today....

Ontario's 'Teflon Biker' arrested on gun charges as part of unannounced probe targeting Hells Angels

https://nationalpost.com/news/ontar...unannounced-probe-targeting-hells-angels


Quote
Barletta was dubbed the “Teflon biker” in London, because of his reputation for successfully avoiding charges, including for an alleged role in a $103-million illegal sports betting ring.
He became a full-patch member of the Hells Angels in Toronto in 2002 and then became a founding member of the London chapter in 2003. According to evidence filed at a provincial tribunal, Barletta served as president of the London chapter at least until 2008 and remained a member afterwards.

Barletta was charged in a sweeping police probe against Platinum Sports Book, a sophisticated gambling operation in Ontario that had computer servers in Costa Rica.
We are aware that some Hells Angels members were arrested

The investigation of Platinum was revealed in spectacular fashion when officers raided a lavish Super Bowl party north of Toronto in 2013 — it was a catered event thrown as a Platinum customer appreciation night with an open bar for 2,700 guests who vied for expensive door prizes, including a motorcycle and Sea-Doo. Court heard a financial audit, based on intermittent betting records, found Platinum grossed more than $103 million between 2009 and 2013.

Three years after his arrest in the Platinum case, charges against Barletta were withdrawn.

This is interesting, been a lot of talk about something big occurring this could be it. I believe that the major arrest of HA in Quebec along side some Eastern European element earlier year is also related. It had something to do with finance, if I remember correctly.

It’s amazing that the ghost of Rizzuto lingers even here with the Platinum Sports Book

This is far from over and I feel that many more arrests will be made .. I remember seeing in the project sindacato Figliomeni take-down in Obtario, police indicating that they were still combing through a year's worth of wiretaps and more would be happening.

As we can see, they are using Canada Revenue now and targeting the proceeds .. tax evasion, laundering and following the money trail ..

Given that all the reporters here form a link between this Hells Angels crew and the Figliomeni clan, there just HAVE to be more things in the pipeline.

Platinum took down a lot of people but only a select few did actual jail time. Back up web sites were back up in no time.

I knew a lot of bettors who were using Platinum and at least two of the sportsbooks named in this bust, (Privada and Ultimate SB) were handed out almost immediately after that takedown... but with different agents managing the accounts .. agents that got away untouched from the Platinum bust scooped players under these new sportsbooks.

This isn't over .. with the use of new tactics and especially with the amounts of money being seized (which ultimately helps finance further investigations) I think this is only the beginning.

Right on, not to beat a dead horse. The outstanding debts from the book, were one of the things Rizzuto discussed during his mysterious tour of Ontario after release. All partners in Platinum would have been involved, and come to agreement (HA, Sicilians, Calabrese, Cops, Government, Elites, etc.). The promised cooperation was what was going to provide a distribution jump point in Hamilton. After Rizzuto death, the promises were broken, regarding the forgiveness of certain debts. Thus destroying the Hamilton front for the cartels and creating the ensuing events.

As a reminder to anyone following this story,

One of the recently arrested, Gordon Baird, was convicted in the Platinum Sportsbook bust and admitted/pleaded guilty to being the administrator of the site.

https://nationalpost.com/news/toron...g-allegedly-linked-to-mafia-hells-angels

Robert Barleta, the alleged leader in the organization taken down was also charged in the Platinum Sportsbook takedown but his charges were dismissed apparently the same day that Gordon Baird was sentenced.

Yeah .. someone is sending a message I think … Police would have already searched that house so I would assume they found everything they needed.

Here's another article that talks about the fire and some other details.

London police played big role in busting alleged Hells Angels-linked gambling ring

What a message as well, have you heard anything about Walter Stadnik or any other 95 Nomads (ie. Pup Stockford or Norman Robitaiile). All of these men were part of the Elite Charter under Mom Boucher, and close with Rizzuto, both Victor or Nicolo Jr. This could be the way Rizzuto gets a permanent presence in Ontario and across the country. If we recall, it was Stadnik with Stockford that patched the country, while the war in Montreal was being fought. When the patch over of Ontario was complete, it’s been suggested that Stockford and Stadnik were setup by fellow HA, with Hamilton Police and other similar minded institutions.

It almost appears as if people would rather cross Rizzuto, than these guys now.

The failure to get the legitimate front in Hamilton, and attempting to play the cartels. Is now, potentially causing all players to (OC, Cops, Govt, Banks, Showbiz) to do as their told or deal with a more professional version (DEA, FBI, Homeland) since they help solve Barberi and Musitano murders.

I think the police chief in Hamilton in and around Stockford/Stadnik arrest was guy named Brian Mullen. I know of a cook who is related to a Musitano guy through marriage with last name Gallo. The cook says this police chief has attended city elite social club that he worked at and blew lines. The were many 1%er Clubs prior to Ontario HA patching.

The Red Devils had a member Rick Joslin who with other 1%ers in not only Red Devils, Satan’s Choice, maybe Outlaws as well, worked with the local cops and government to setup Stadnik/Stockford. The reward of Joslin is that he was a major front for the conspirators as a Martial Arts Club in Hamilton. Also Red Devils had to become HA puppet.

These guys were patched into HA and since Stadnik/Stockford were 95 Nomads, too close to Rizzuto they needed to go. One top of the fact that Stadnik has expanded HA from coast to coast in Canada, with other 95 Nomads like Wolf Carrol.

The two HA that were shot in 2016 put on both Hamilton and Nomad cuts. With the presence of hated HA enemy Outlaws back in Ontario and no response they were targeted.

John Papalia was murdered in May 97, most people I have listened to believed if the Musitanos weren’t arrested they would have been able to fill the void left by the death of Papalia. The Luppino/Violi were American based at the time and couldn’t fill either. I believe one of the brothers was arrested early 90’s and maybe doing time.

The people that filled the void are the one who worked against Stadnik/Stockford, essential 95 Nomads. With Joe Ertel becoming President of Ontario, Outlaws in Hamilton becoming their enemy HA, Mario Parente submission, and Bandidos Massacre.

After this its been implied that this group was involved with the attack on Rizzuto via man named Harold’s mob connections, maybe Maggi. Something to do with trading company out of Mississauga, and Montreal Stock Exchange.

Fire hits London home raided by cops in Hells Angels-linked illegal gambling probe - Jonathan Juha

https://torontosun.com/news/local-n...wcm/cfbb380a-aac5-413f-957d-5a6dcb482da3


Quote
But one source close to outlaw bikers suspects the fire wasn’t random, that someone is sending a message to police that they’re not going to keep all the assets they seized.
“It’s not over. There will be more ‘lightning,’ ” the source said.

That source doesn’t buy speculation the fire might have been set to destroy evidence. It doesn’t make sense to burn the house to destroy evidence after the police search, the source said.


Here's where I disagree. It's not so much about sending a message that they won't be able to keep all the assets seized because assets need to be held until after trial..so if someone is found not guilty or charges are dropped, those assets are returned so it's idiotic to torch the assets so early in the process. Plus we've seen no destruction of all the homes seized (dozens) in the Project Sindacato busts of the Figliomeni clan (which Police allege was linked to this operation)

I THINK INSTEAD ….. The owner of the home (Habiba Kajan) is linked to the head of this operation, Robert Barletta .. and I think someone is sending a message to HER or perhaps even HIM... … as in .. keep your mouth shut. Seems if they were connected, she would know a LOT of his secrets.

Which speaks to my point .. the assets can't be sold off UNTIL they get convictions. so, the torching isn't asset destruction... it's a message for people to keep their mouths shut.

I apologize if how I speak upset you, I don’t know why it would unless there is some truth to what I am being told and observing.

If you doubt what I am sharing, because you have other information, please share. I am open to learn and discuss, that’s why I’m on this forum.

The trading company was called Magus, Market Guidance System. Check it out, if it’s a lie, discredit the information that I present. If not, you untitled to your opinion, however, facts are facts.

I know that Ertel, his buddy Harold and their group had offices in Montreal as well. Ontario HA guys having any traction in Quebec, specifically early to mid 2000’sis unique, especially if they weren’t part of the 95 HA Montreal Nomad Charter.

Just curious what has you upset, my improving English. The Papalia references, the Nomad 95 references. The 1%er observations, that are fact based events. Or the Joe Ertel and Harold references, and any subsequent information about them, since they are named that are not openly discussed?

I guess when the police and fire departments show up to a multi million dollar waterside home, who's only registered owner is an Italian nonna, you've got a problem... Nobody said criminals were the sharpest pencils in the box.

A suspected arson that destroyed a Blue Mountains vacation property linked to the former president of the London Hells Angels was the catalyst for a two-year police probe into a gambling ring that led to his arrest on guns, gambling and tax evasion charges, The Free Press has learned.

The Jan. 5, 2018, fire in Thornbury, a small town on Georgian Bay northwest of Collingwood, prompted police to launch Operation Hobart, an investigation into an alleged multimillion-dollar gambling operation that police contend was run by members of the Hells Angels and an alleged Toronto crime family, Staff Sgt. Anthony Renton, the head of the OPP’s biker enforcement unit, said.

Property records show the now-destroyed luxury home and property at 363 Sunset Blvd., in Thornbury, belongs to Salvatrice Barletta, believed to be the mother of Robert Barletta, a founding member of the Hells Angels London chapter.
