Neteller Mystery
April 20, 2007, 3:55 am (4 years ago)Stephen Lawrence and John Lefebvre, Neteller founders, have still not actually had their day in court despite the fact that they were arrested and also bailed some time ago in January of this year by the FBI.
If you look at the present case that is being held against the two Canadians, who were detained on United States soil by the FBI agents on certain allegations that were connected with Neteller’s online gambling business despite that there are no longer holding executive positions in the company, has not been postponed once but twice now, with the lasted hearing scheduled for April 16th.
This week, the court date was put off further with an extension to April 27th which has been granted; according to the posters on the Neteller Coalition message board, although there has been no news agency or other confirmation. This in itself is unusual based on the given widespread media interest in the case and the negotiations between the United States Department of Justice and the Isle of Man based Neteller.
Neteller withdrew from the United States market and also blocked all United States accounts following the arrests of its founders, which ended by depriving the thousands of American players of control over their balances estimated to a total of 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 as well. This is only the beginning of the things to come.
