Unsolved Mysteries of Gambling Part 5: Where in the World is WSEX’s Jay Cohen?

Where is Jay Cohen?

Internet sports betting's biggest bandit has seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth, ever since the online sportsbook he co-founded, World Sports Exchange, went belly up in 2013 and stiffed hundreds of customers out of thousands of dollars.

His whereabouts and what happened to him are questions pondered by many of those who were stiffed, and are the subject of the latest installment in Gambling 911's continuing series, "Unsolved Mysteries of Gambling."
