In a shocking revelation we have obtained
tapes from a source we shall call "Deep Pockets" that
prove Todd "Aces" Lyda is the Boss of an international
gambling ring believed to be based in Thailand. Fearing for his
life, Deep Pockets turned the tapes over to this organization
Wednesday after assurances that his identity would not be
revealed. On the tapes Todd "Aces" Lyda can be heard
discussing intimate details of his international gambling
organization during a high stakes game of poker. Copies of Deep
Pockets' tapes were also made available to the F.B.I.. According
to Robert Mueller, F.B.I. Director, Aces and his criminal
activities have been under investigation for some time. Now that
they have solid evidence, Mueller stated that a Grand Jury
indictment should be handed down after the July 4th holiday.
At present Aces is conducting business in
Nashville, TN through a front now known to be one of many money
laundering operations. Aces is considered armed and dangerous and
may have been tipped off by one of several F.B.I. moles on his
payroll. Mueller stated, "It is clear that Mr. Lyda was aware
of the search warrant for his business in Nashville well before
that warrant was served". While Mueller would not comment on
specific evidence obtained he did say, "We expect to gather
more evidence as the sweep widens to include most of Mr. Lyda's
holdings throughout America, Europe and Eastern Asia". |
Aces has not been
apprehended and a nation wide manhunt is underway. Aces is known
to own a bike, several private jets and boats. The Coast Guard has
been alerted and are actively searching for him.
The Thai Government is said to have committed
significant resources to the investigation. Our offices in China
are reporting that several gambling houses in Bangkok, Mae Hong
Son, Nong Khai and Koh Chang have been raided and over 3.5 million
dollars have been seized thus far. In addition over 166 people
have been detained. 3 police officers were killed during the raid
in Koh Chang. We have reports that as many as 27 suspects were
also killed during a fire fight there.
