Oh there's a third scandal. I don't know why nobody has cared about it yet. It involves how the online books target their advertising at kids, allow kids to open accounts without properly verifying identity/age (even though they're supposed to do so), allow kids to bet, lose, keep their money, and only verify the account if the account wins and tries to cash out, at which time they close the account and confiscate the funds. So the books entice kids to gamble, get them addicted, and put them in a situation where the only result is that they lose all of the money that (probably) they stole from their parents. And we have a generation of boys who now are addicted to sports betting, largely because the books are allowed to run incessant advertising about how betting is free money and how much their loser-bet parlays pay and how you can make live bets during the game, with these ads during the pre-game and during the game itself, when many of the viewers are kids. It's despicable and should have been reined in a long time ago.
