A grand jury indictment filed in federal court reveals authorities conducted a years-long investigation into how a depraved group of individuals utilized the messaging app Telegram to operate an underground dog-fighting venture.
According to court documents, the group’s activity dates back to as early as May 2015, with the named defendants often posting under a variety of pseudonyms while organizing activities related to raising what the filing calls “pit bull-type dogs” for the sole purpose of staging fights.
As the filing notes on numerous instances, the members of the DMV Board knew their actions were illegal and, on several occasions, deliberately made attempts to evade authorities. On March 13, 2017, federal authorities allege that, after the arrest of one unindicted conspirator, a member of the group suggested that Wilson should “delete messages from the private group” to elude law enforcement in the future.
