MILWAUKEE (AP) — A former lawyer for a Florida sports betting pro facing federal extortion charges in Wisconsin has claimed the man worked as an informant and helped in the seizure of $750 million from offshore bookies. Adam Meyer is accused of extorting $25 million from a Fond du Lac liquor store owner, who is a former client. In court documents unsealed Tuesday, Meyer’s former attorney claimed he began working as an informant for federal and state law enforcement following a possible indictment in the early 2000s. The claims were in motions written in March and filed under seal. The motions were meant to support Meyer’s since-abandoned plans for insanity and public authority defenses.
