Bryan Micon's Seals with Clubs poker site has been charged by Nevada's Attorney General that it runs the website by accepting bitcoin without a license, as reported by Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper on Monday.
The online poker website was shut down in February this year and an arrest warrant filed on Monday in Las Vegas Justice Court charged Micon with operating an interactive gaming system without a licence. The offence could lead to 10 years in prison and a $50,000 fine, the newspaper reported.
Micon's attorney, Richard Schonfeld told the Review-Journal, "Bryan has always maintained that he committed no wrongdoing, but I'm not in a position to comment on the Attorney General's filing because I haven't seen it."
