high-stakes card games and a sports betting
operation.
"Some
of the illegal proceeds were laundered through
a Pittston lumber business, according to the
Pennsylvania State Police Organized Crime Task
Force.
"Mark
A. Gubbiotti, 48, White Terrace Drive, Courtdale,
ran card games and a betting operation from
his residence between May 2000 and December

busted the illegal gambling operation with the
help of a confidential informant. The informant
