Bet On Sports CEO to face RICO charges?
David Carruthers, the chief executive of BetonSports appeared at the Federal Court House in Fort Worth, Texas, on Monday according to a spokesperson for the FBI.
Carruthers was detained late Sunday at Dallas airport by the US authorities while en route from the UK to Costa Rica.

According to sources, Carruthers will be charged under the federal racketeering statutes or RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act).
The Federal warrant has been issued out of state with a sealed indictment. The hearing will determine his rights and the possible bail conditions. Sources indicate he is unlikely to be granted bail. The hearing will also determine which Federal Correctional Institute he will be sent to.
