Former Neteller director John Lefebvre, who was arrested in Malibu, Calif., on Monday and charged with money laundering, was granted bail on Tuesday in a Los Angeles County court.
"[Lefebvre] will be released after he satisfies the following bail conditions: $5 million [personal recognizance bail], fully secured by cash or property; pre-trial supervision; surrender of all travel documents; and travel restricted to the Central District of Calif., except for trips to Southern District of New York for court," said Rebekah Carmichael, spokesperson for the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Former Neteller director Stephen Lawrence, who was also arrested on Monday in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and charged with money laundering, has not appeared before a judge but is scheduled to appear today in St. Thomas.
Both defendants are being directed to appear in New York on Jan. 26, 2007, but the date is subject to change, Carmichael said.
IGN will continue to bring updates on the situation as they occur.
