The former BetOnSports CE David Carruthers (48) is likely to be released on $1m bail soon under a deal with the US Government that would allow him to live in the midwestern city of St Louis until his trial for organising illegal gambling starts, according to a report in The Guardian.
This is only on condition that he is electronically tagged. Carruthers is one of eight people connected to BetonSports who have appeared in Missouri's Federal Court to enter pleas of not guilty in relation to charges of fraud, racketeering and unlawful gaming. Carruthers is the only defendant still in custody and the UK businessman's associates say he is not doing well. One said: ‘He looks like a beaten man - not physically beaten but just beaten down’. Meanwhile, in a long list of arraignments, bail has been granted to Lori Beth Kaplan Multz and Neil Kaplan - siblings of Gary Kaplan, who is accused of masterminding the BetonSports gambling empire and is thought to be on the run either in Costa Rica or Israel.
