Sports-Betting Operation, BetOnSports, Shuts Web Site

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

An offshore sports-betting operation targeted by U.S. prosecutors shut down its Web site Tuesday night, a day after a federal judge ordered the company to stop letting Americans place wagers.

BetOnSports PLC said it was temporarily stopping all transactions while it reviewed the situation.

Earlier on Tuesday, the site had appeared to be operating normally, offering bets on Major League baseball and season-opening college football games.
