dna4ever 2 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 After several months with little to know news on the whereabouts or standing of Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker co-founder Brent Beckley made headlines in the mainstream press by turning himself in to authorities and pleading guilty to counts of conspiracy to violate the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) and conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud.The Wall Street Journal’s Chad Bray reported on the story early on Tuesday and states that Beckley, 31, could face up to a year and a half in prison as opposed to potentially 30 years, the possible maximum sentence for bank fraud charges. The story also reports that Beckley told the Manhattan federal presiding over the hearing, “I knew it was illegal to accept credit cards from players gambling on the Internet. I knew it was illegal to deceive banks in this way.”full story on Bluff's website ... http://news.bluffmagazine.com/ap-co-founde...-charges-25629/ Link to post Share on other sites
