In this capacity, Krause provided bookmakers with a credit line and login credentials. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/news-breaking-new-details-reveal-james-krause-involved-offshore-betting-operations-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">According to sources<\/a>, these gamblers placed wagers on the offshore wagering site and paid Krause directly through Venmo or PayPal.
