No. The person who wrote the checks was a secretary for the guy in California who ran the pool. While we could've asserted jurisdiction and prosecuted her, we didn't because she had no idea why the winner wanted it done that way (3 $9k checks) and satisfactorily answered the question put to her. The lawyer lied big time, when initially interviewed, which is in itself a crime. And most of the members of the relevant section of our office had to recuse themselves, because they play basketball with the guy. EBD
