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.
