Western Pennsylvania’s onetime video poker kingpin has agreed to forfeit $5 million and dissolve two skill games companies as part of a plea agreement with the state Attorney General’s Office.
It is the largest asset forfeiture in a gaming enforcement case in Pennsylvania history, said Chief Deputy Attorney General Patrick Schulte.
John “Duffy” Conley, 62, of Pittsburgh’s South Side Slopes, appeared in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court Wednesday to represent his two companies, Buffalo Skill Games Inc., of Bridgeville, and J.J. Amusement Inc., of the South Side.
Both companies entered a plea to a single felony count, operating a corrupt organization.
The plea agreement called for the forfeiture and for both companies to be dissolved within 30 days.
