There were 15 credit unions that the NCUA liquidated or assisted in their being purchased in 2011, but only one involved Internet gambling and litigation.

The agency conserved the credit union earlier in the year after the owner of its largest deposit account, the Trinity Global Commerce Corp., was seized by the government as part of a crackdown and closure of major online poker sites.
