Online gambling conman Robert Gustafsson rises from the dead

Like a zombie rising from the dead, infamous con artist Jan Robert Gustafsson appears intent on worming his way back into the online gambling industry.

In mid-May, I began hearing industry buzz around a new Manila-based online casino game distributor, QTech Games. The company is headed up by Jonas Alm, who also serves as CEO of software developer Mahjong Logic.

QTech’s promotional material indicated that it was offering a large selection of games from familiar industry names such as NetEnt, QuickSpin, Habanero and others, at prices below the industry average.

But shortly after I began contacting some of these companies to inquire about their QTech connection, their names started vanishing from QTech’s website. To understand why, it helps to know a little about Gustafsson’s shady history in the online gambling world.
