Neteller Founders Still Untried
Sixth continuance pushes trial date back another month
Neteller founders Stephen Lawrence and John Lefebvre will remain
untried for a further month, according to a statement this week
by the public information officer for the US District Attorney's
Office in New York, where both men are on massive $5 million bail
and restricted to movement within the state.
The Neteller duo, both Canadian citizens, were arrested by federal
agents whilst on US soil back in January this year, subsequently
released on heavy bail and have since been the subject of repeated
continuances. Their arrest sparked the withdrawal of the Isle of
Man based Neteller from the US market, freezing US player accounts,
a situation that persists today.
No further details were available as we went to press, but the
latest delay will mean the trial of the two men is unlikely to take
place before the end of June...and there could be further delays
when that date is reached.
