BOS Executive battling for release
Currently Carruthers’ attorneys are trying to hammer out the technical details of his release with federal authorities. It is understood that if bail is granted he will be required to remain within the St Louis area until his trial on fraud and racketeering charges.
According to his attorney Scott Rosenblum, all conditions of Carruthers’ bail have been met, but the need for a dedicated telephone line to be installed in his residence in St Louis has delayed his release.
The arrest of Carruthers sent panic through the online gambling industry, with many executives and founders of online gambling sites refusing to enter the states since. People like Calvin Ayre, Bodog founder and CEO, were conspicuously absent from the World Series of Poker, an event most important figures in the industry had expected to attend.
His trial will be watched with total vigilance by the industry.
