ST. LOUIS - Three former executives of the online sports gambling Web site BetOnSports, including two of the company founder's siblings, pleaded guilty to federal racketeering charges.
Company founder Gary Kaplan's brother and sister — Neil Scott Kaplan, 43, and Lori Beth Kaplan-Multz, 48 — and former personal assistant, Penelope Ann Tucker, 64, pleaded guilty Monday to racketeering charges in U.S. District Court in St. Louis.
All three agreed to forfeit money held in Swiss Bank accounts. For the siblings, that is expected to amount to millions of dollars.
Formal sentencing is Sept. 15. None of the three are expected to serve jail time.
