BETONSPORTS EX CEO, DAVID CARRUTHERS WILL RECEIVE BAIL
BetOnSports' David Carruthers will be released on a $1 million dollar bail this week. He will have to wear an ankle bracelet and he will not be allowed to leave the city of St. Louis, Missouri as he awaits his day in court.
When I called his attorney, Tim Evans, this morning, I was told that Mr. Evans was "ironing out" the final details..
Speaking outside the court his lawyer Tim Evans said, "Right now, we want to get him out and living in clean sheets and clean clothes."
Mr. Carruthers was arrested while changing planes in Texas last month en route between Britain and BetonSports' operations in Costa Rica. The authorities in Missouri, where betting is only allowed on riverboats, say BETonSPORTS broke its laws by taking online wagers from American residents.
Following his arrest, he was fired by the company, although insiders say this was a legal technicality adopted by BETonSPORTS so that it could continue to insist that it had not received a contentious restraining order, which had been served on Mr. Carruthers, requiring it to repay cash to thousands of customers.
Just yesterday, Mr. Carruthers was one of eight people connected to BETonSPORTS who appeared in Missouri's federal court to enter pleas of not guilty in relation to charges of fraud, racketeering and unlawful gaming.
Gary Kaplan remains at large as a wanted fugitive on the run. He is now the center of an international manhunt.
