BetonSports founder takes his case further up the US judicial system
Gary Kaplan, the erstwhile founder of the now largely moribund BetonSports.com empire has apparently decided to contest two court decisions that have ordered his continued detention without bail whilst awaiting trial on a raft of charges associated with allegedly illegal online sportsbetting and racketeering.
Kaplan was declared a fugitive by US authorities and was subsequently arrested in Dominica and extradited to US territory to face the charges arising from his involvement in the Costa Rican based sportsbetting group BetonSports. Since his arrest, Kaplan has twice unsuccessfully attempted to secure bail, claiming ill health and offering to pay for his own guards.
The gambling executive has now filed papers to plead his case before the US Court of Appeals.
The US Department of Justice action against BetonSports which eventually resulted in the company's demise was triggered when David Carruthers, the former CEO of BetonSports was arrested at a US airport whilst transitting to Costa Rica from the UK. Carruthers remains under house arrest in St. Louis still untried after almost 18 months. |
