SUMMARY: Marcos Lopez, suspended Osceola County Sheriff, is accused of running an illegal gambling ring centered at the Eclipse Social Club in Kissimmee. The club’s owner, Krishna de Caron, faces a racketeering complaint and had $139,000 seized from the club and \$1 million seized from his bank accounts. Investigators allege Caron told employees not to worry about law enforcement and even reported burglaries himself. Undercover agents gathered evidence over months. Employees like Sharon Frederick admitted handling money for multiple illegal gambling clubs owned by Caron, with weekly earnings up to $200,000.
