Emergency Briefing: Online Gambling & the US: World Online Gambling Law Report
The Briefing will analyse the 22-count indictment charging 11 individuals, including David Carruthers, CEO of BetonSports, and four corporations, including BetonSports, on various charges of racketeering, conspiracy and fraud.
The Briefing will also consider the significance of the temporary restraining order issued by Judge Catherine D Perry ordering BetonSports PLC to stop taking sports bets from the United States and to return money held in wagering accounts to account holders in the United States.
U.S Attorney Catherine L. Hanaway of the Eastern District of Missouri warned in a US Department of Justice press release on 17 July: "Misuse of the Internet to violate the law can ultimately only serve to harm legitimate businesses. This indictment is but one step in a series of actions designed to punish and seize the profits of individuals who disregard federal and state laws."
