Federal investigators have seized more than $400,000 from a retired Pennsylvania State Police corporal who, until recently, served as compliance director for Pace-O-Matic, the maker of Pennsylvania skill games at the center of a legal quandary over whether they are gambling devices.
The Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation branch posted a notice of forfeiture on Sunday listing $443,052 in cash and accounts seized from Rick Goodling, who worked as national director of compliance for Georgia-based Pace-O-Matic Inc, according to a notice posted online by the IRS.
A spokesman for Pace-O-Matic said Goodling resigned from his position with the company more than a month ago after company officials became aware of the IRS investigation regarding his personal tax filing.
