A search warrant affidavit alleged the Edina man used cash apps to collect an initial $5.99 subscription fee as well as $25 for every $100 deposited for wagering. The Edina man has 165,000 followers around the world. Minnesota Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division spokesperson Nicole Roddy confirmed the investigation to the Star Tribune, saying the agency has never encountered such a case until now. The association's vice president for government relations, Alex Costello, said the alleged scheme violates casinos' anti-money laundering protocols.
