So after the BOS fiascal and other collapses, I've decided to take my action to, otherwise unknown(internet, as I travel to CR on a somewhat regular basis) book that is credit/post up. Now what if any risk is there that these guys are targeted by DOJ? I've been at one unknown book for over a year and another about 4 months without any payout or CS problem. Is there something I'm missing here that I don't see? Withdrawals are over 7k and I've never had a problem. Some shops that are unknown have been great to me and our members. What am I missing?

By "unknown" if you mean that they don't advertise, aren't on any forums, aren't rated by SBR, then really it is up to you to make sure you have enough information about them. No one else will be able to help you. Sounds like you have had success with one, might be just best to stick with it and choose some other higher rated established books.

Obscure book like BetTheDuck had the feds go after a group of their agents so it certainly happens.

First of all if you are just a player I dont think you have any risk outside of how stable your book is. If there are other activities involved then I wouldnt deal with guys that DONT have their own agents in the US. So ticket writing head shops carry less risks from that aspect.

Your main risk is the stability of your BM. If you tag him for $50k one week will you get paid? Or will the phone be dead and the office moved across town? We see a lot of midnight riders here in CR... credit midnight riders.

Personally, and not because they are sponsors here, I think you are safer and would be happier long term in books like CRIS and Pinnacle.
