Gambling boats raided by feds

Monday, Jan. 20, 2003 | 10:58 a.m.

LITTLE RIVER, S.C. -- Federal agents raided ships and offices of Stardancer Casino Cruises in Florida and South Carolina last week looking for evidence of mail fraud and tax evasion, according to documents filed in federal court.

FBI, Internal Revenue Service and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. agents investigating the president of the company seized six boats and raided company offices.

The sweep was orchestrated by the U.S. attorney's office in Toledo, Ohio, where Mark Steven Miller, chief executive of the former Oakwood Deposit Bank Co., was indicted last year on embezzling charges.

Miller is alleged to have invested much of the $48 million in stolen money in Stardancer.
