CORRECTION: NETELLER DUO COURT DATE IS MAY 16
Legal representative for Lawrence confirms new extension granted
More information is now to hand concerning the latest extension of a court date for NETeller founders Stephen Lawrence and John Lefebvre (see earlier Online-Casinos.com/InfoPowa reports)
Peter Neiman, the legal representative for Lawrence has advised that another continuance is now scheduled for May 16 to determine if both his client and another founder, John Lefebrve, will be indicted by the US government. Claims by NETeller Coalition members that the date of April 27 was set, were incorrect.
The case against the two Canadians, who were detained on January 15 on US soil by FBI agents on allegations connected with NETeller's online gambling business despite no longer holding executive positions in the company, has now been re-scheduled four times.
Following the arrests of its founders, NETeller withdrew from the US market and blocked all US accounts, depriving thousands of American players of control over their balances estimated to total tens of millions of dollars. The e-wallet also suspended trading in its shares on London's AIM, a situation that pertains to this date.
