Online Casino E-Wallet Developers Arrested
1 Feb 2007
One of the leading and most popular online casino payment methods and e-wallet companies has recently made news headlines for the wrong reasons. Rumors are spreading like wildfire throughout the online casino industry that the two founders of this online casinos financial payment group have been arrested. The two founders of online were arrested in Los Angeles and New York, respectively, according to reports surfacing Monday afternoon.
Steve Lawrence and John LeFevre, both of Canada, were taken into custody early Monday morning while visiting their places of residence in the US. Charges have not yet been filed. Neither of the men has been involved with the online casino payment method group for quite a few years, though it is unclear if they are still receiving an ‘income’ from the company. The online casino e-wallet firm is a publicly traded company based out of Isle of Man. It is the largest online gambling money processor.
‘Both have houses in the USA. That is why they were in the US...they spend a great deal of time there,’ a source stated regarding the founders of the online casino money processor. The detention of both men indicates an extended investigation dating back several years. It is unknown why either were traveling in the US simultaneously, transferring through two different airports. It is also not clear if the two men were arrested for anything having to do with their involvement in the online casino e-wallet company. LeFevre, a former hippie, started the hugely successful company with Steve Lawrence in 1999 but retired in 2002 in Costa Rica.
