Former Executives Just Wait

With the U.S. online casino and gambling industry still in turmoil, the former CEO of BetonSports is spending his house arrest time preparing for a marathon and raising money for charity. David Carruthers, the former CEO of BoS has been in U.S. custody for nearly 18 months at this point because of the online casinos gambling and betting laws in the U.S. Carruthers is on house arrest as he awaits trial, and because the case has dragged out for so long, he is using his time to get into shape and to raise as much money as possible for charity.

BetonSports was in the news for the past year and a half beucase the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) has arrested several of the top executives in the company on charges of violating U.S. online casinos and gambling legislation that prohibits offshore companies from offering internet gambling services to American players. Carruthers was the first of the online casinos betting company’s executives to get arrested – he was on a trip back from Europe with a layover in the U.S. when he was arrested and put into custody. The DoJ issued a sealed warrant for his arrest, so he was not aware that he was wanted in the U.S. when he landed on U.S. soil for his layover. Another BoS executive, in fact the BoS founder, Gary Kaplan was arrested in Dominica and then extradicted to the U.S. to face charges. Unlike Carruthers, Kaplan has been denied bail or house arrest and remains in custody as his case waits trial.

The only thing that these men can hope for is a strong defense team that will convincingly argue their case against in the U.S. courts. And perhaps for the better, the longer that the online casinos betting case waits, the more likely it is that the U.S. will alter its current draconian internet betting and gambling legislation. That may or may not help the two men’s cases considering that Carruthers was arrested n 22 felony charges, many of which were related to the online casino gambling industry.
