BetOnSports CEO Stays in Jail

An AP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

The chief executive of BetOnSports PLC, a major online sports-betting operation, remained in custody Friday on racketeering and conspiracy charges after his lawyer asked to postpone a bail hearing.

The hearing for David Carruthers will be held instead in federal district court in St. Louis. No date was set.

The executive was arrested Sunday at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport as he waited to board a flight to Costa Rica, where the company has a major operation.
