Back in September 2005, Adam Anhang came out with his wife from the restaurant he just bought for her in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, before they had the chance to celebrate the missus's new property, a man appeared from the shadows and stabbed Mr. Anhang to death while also wounding to the wife.

Looks like robbery, or does it
This could have easily been filed as a robbery, but questions started to rise when the police found that nothing was taken from Anhang body, including his wallet and personal documents. This, obviously, discarded this option, so the investigators had to try and understand what led to the murder of one of the rising stars of the industry.

Adam Anhang, despite being only 32 years old, had an impressive resume, including being the CFO of Dr. Ho and later on becoming the CEO of CWG Gaming. It is totally understandable why this act of violence caused havoc amongst people from the industry, as no logical explanation for a murder of such a well known person could be found.

It seems we are only inches away from the solving of this case. A couple of weeks ago a person was brought in front of a judge in Puerto Rico, accused of conspiring the murder of Adam Anhang.

The perpetrator, Alex Pabon Colon, has already admitted at his part of the murder and pointed at Anhang's wife as the person standing behind the crime. According to the lawsuit, Anhang's wife offered Colon no less than $3 million to kill her husband.

Mrs. Anhang
The wife, currently living in Italy and pregnant with twins to an Italian man, will have to work hard to claim her innocence in court. She has her work cut out for her, as the investigation suggests she found out that Anhang was about to file for divorce just before the murder took place.

This trial will probably draw a lot of attention, after Dateline NBC reported this case and brought up a couple of options to what might have caused it. This adds to a list of violent acts against online gambling officials, such as the Joey Rizzo case, from six months ago in Costa Rica.
