Strong rumours that have been circulating this week that the U.S. Department of Justice enforcers are about to target another online gambling executive for arrest on a sealed warrant have been denied this week by a spokesman responding to a press enquiry by the publication eGaming Review.

U.S. enforcers have inflicted substantial damage on investor confidence in the international online gambling business through the alarm and fear which arrests of executives like David Carruthers and Peter Dick caused, and more recently the detention of Neteller founders John Lefebvre and Stephen Lawrence, even though the latter two are no longer employed by Neteller.
