Sounds like nothing at this point. He's being treated as a witness, not a target of the investigation: "Representatives of the U.S. Federal Government have asked for my cooperation in an investigation. I am not the subject of any investigation or prosecution. I will fully cooperate with the U.S. Federal authorities in their investigation or in any proceedings arising out of it."

Probably just means that his phone number was in a bookie's rolodex.
