New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Thursday filed an amended lawsuit against DraftKings and FanDuel asking the daily fantasy sports companies to give back all the money they made in New York State.
The amended lawsuit asks the two companies to make restitution of all funds obtained from consumers in connection with alleged violations and seeks a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per case.
The lawsuit also asks that the two companies provide an accounting of the money they collected from consumers in New York who played any of their games.
Boston-based DraftKings and New York-based FanDuel did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

There’s a thread that the AG is paid off by someone in Malaysia.
“When already emailed all that data to Hillary Clinton. You’ll have to ask her for it.”
Schneiderman is a total weasel. Someone has to say no to these twerps.
I thought all along this was a government shakedown and the only reason it wasn’t settled after C&D letter was because the sites wouldn’t accept the payoff amount so now New York State is deciding they will get the money from them one way or another. The sites thought they’d be protected by their big-money partners like ESPN/Disney, the NBA, the NFL, MLB, etc. Well. they underestimated how the state wants to put the screws to them.
Tomorrow Draft Kings will annouce their move to Florida or Texas. They will be joined by ESPN/Disney, the NBA, the NFL, MLB.
