BETCHA.COM EXTRADITION APPEAL REJECTED
Owner and colleagues voluntarily surrender to Louisiana authorities
The Betcha.com saga (see previous Online-Casinos.com/InfoPowa reports) continued this week with the sad news that Washington State governor Chris Gregoire has granted a request by Louisiana authorities that owner Nick Jenkins and his colleagues Josie M. Imlay and Peter M. Abrahamsen be extradited on "illegal gambling" charges.
Jenkins had appealed to the governor of his home state not to allow the extradition to proceed until his own case against the Washington State gambling board has been decided - the board raided and shut down Jenkins's site when he argued its legality as a betting venue between third parties.
The three Betcha.com colleagues voluntarily flew to Louisiana this week and surrendered to state police, who immediately arrested them, confirming that if convicted, the three could face up to five years in prison and fines of up to $20 000 each.
Louisiana became involved in the case when a state trooper conducting a sting investigation placed a bet through the site which realised a return for Betcha.com of a mere 70 cents.
