CAN YOU BELIEVE THE D.O.J ?

Amid rumours of another online gambling exec being targeted, DoJ deny this is so

Strong rumours that have been circulating this week that the U.S. Department of Justice enforcers are about to target another online gambling executive for arrest on a sealed warrant have been denied this week by a spokesman responding to a press enquiry by the publication eGaming Review.

U.S. enforcers have inflicted substantial damage on investor confidence in the international online gambling business through the alarm and fear which arrests of executives like David Carruthers and Peter Dick caused, and more recently the detention of Neteller founders John Lefebvre and Stephen Lawrence, even though the latter two are no longer employed by Neteller.

A move at this stage could impact Superbowl activity and create major mainstream publication headlines

In response to a direct question from EGR a Department of Justice spokesperson said: "Nothing would be made public until an individual or company was charged.”

According to sources in Washington DC who spoke earlier to eGaming Review, the US authorities are on the verge of unsealing another set of indictments against a high-profile US-facing betting and gaming operator.
