nurobert, here is a link I found for a Modbee.com story from January. Doesn't mention jail time though. http://www.modbee.com/local/story/8234164p-8911276c.html

From the Mod. Bee
booked more than $700 million in fictitious transactions between 1997 and 2001, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

$700 million is not a small amount. I can't imagine not going to jail for that. (I heard 5 years)

What does this mean for the Gold this year? I assume the money is already in place

does anyone know how to get in contact with the gold? i'm interested in knowing more about them, and maybe even attending tryouts if they have them, can anyone help me out? Any info at all would be much appreciated, thank you.

Here's the contact information that listed on the league's web site. The link to the team's web site doesn't work.


California Gold

I just tried that link, nothing about soccer, only gambling and casinos. It seems strange, this late toward the season that the team does not have an official website up. At least to me it does, especially when they are listed as part of the league schedule. If not for that, I'd wonder if they were operating.

Try www.calgoldfc.com. It has some info on it.
