yeah i mean why wouldn't you withdraw your money from a bookmaker that is not regulated, has a fraudster for an owner who got kidnapped and maybe killed.
If he's such a fraudster, wouldn't this actually be a
good thing?
By the way, I've been reading around about this story, and according to less hysterical, more factual ravings, 5Dimes Tony was more a general manager, not the actual primary owner of the site. It's unclear if the person registered as the main owner is his Costa Rican wife or an unrelated businesswoman, but he is not listed as the main owner.
Additionally, 5Dimes has many part owners living in the States, which also makes a certain amount of sense.
Take all this with a grain of salt, obviously, but the point is that there is infrastructure in place at such a large company.

sure any competent company should be able to survive but it's not exactly clear that 5dimes meets that criteria. there are more trustworthy books about even amongst all the really sketchy US market. if there's good alternatives and I had a lot of money in there, there's no way in hell I would leave my money in there with the reputation it has.
By all means, enlighten us as to these "more trustworthy books"? 5Dimes is known for the quickest pay-outs and has been considered one of the better ones since around 2005.
Quite a few of their competitors are also headquartered in Costa Rica or even worse, Panama. The lone exception is Bovada (Quebec), but they have issues of their own.
