It's unfortunate to see that the players funds were of no priority to the DOJ in both cases. It upsetting to hear all the posters/bettors who had money with one of these places (or both :doh1).
I think the DOJ simply wanted to shut these places down, making examples out of them while putting a notch on the prosecutors belt, helping with whatever political agendas they may have.

I don't know for sure...but I don't know what else they can do if BoS is being controlled by Antigua now, and them not showing for court... how do you prosecute Carruthers now if you can't get the records from the company you need... I think they have had to take a delay of game and now are having to punt....but just don't know how to present it without losing Credibility

It took me two years to get to a trial and I was pressing for one.
The lawyers and judges don't care. They throw out 30 and 60 day delays like it's no big deal, the same way you might move an appointment 10 minutes. The whole legal system is backed up. It's like they got behind 100 years ago and they've never caught up.

He probably was, but since he was not apprehended - he came back to the US simply to fight, obviously he was not looking for a deal.
His goal was to prove the wire act did not apply to other countries. Unfortunately, the judge did not let the jury decide this, the judge told them you must convict if you feel he took bets. It was never JC's goal to prove he did not take bets. He readily admitted this.

I let my lawyers know day one I was never interested in any type of deal. I think I said something like, "I don't care if they kick it down to littering, you will not hear the word guilty roll off of my tongue." They may have sent something over at some point. I told my lawyer to tell them to shove it where the sun doesn't shine without even looking at it.
If I believed I had done nothing wrong, which I did, and still do believe till this day, how could I ever plead guilty? I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
