As reported by the Associated Press: "Former online gambling executive David
Carruthers remained in federal custody Tuesday as his attorneys hammered out
technical details of his release with federal authorities. "Carruthers' bail
is set at $1 million. If released, Carruthers would be required to stay in
the St. Louis area until his trial on racketeering and fraud charges.
"Carruthers' attorney Scott Rosenblum said late Tuesday Carruthers wasn't
released because a dedicated telephone line must be installed in the
residence where Carruthers' will stay in St. Louis. All other conditions had
been met, including the payment of $1 million, Rosenblum said.
"...Carruthers was arrested nearly a month ago as part of a 22-count
indictment against London-based BetOnSports PLC being prosecuted by U.S.
Attorney Catherine Hanaway in St. Louis..."
