Carruthers Could Get up to 33 Months, Sentencing Hearing Scheduled for October
(
1 April 2009
)
A 45-minute hearing Wednesday in St. Louis set the groundwork for capping former BetonSports Chief Executive David Carruthers' three-year battle versus the United States Department of Justice.
A Closer Look at the Proposed UIGEA Regs
(
9 November 2008
)
With the proposed regulations for the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act nearing finalization, IGamingNews understands these regulations remain unchanged from the original proposal issued in October 2007.

A Conversation with David Carruthers
(
7 December 2007
)
No one would dispute that most people have it better than David Carruthers right now, but Carruthers himself is the first to point out that a lot of people have it worse. Eighteen months into his forced stay in St. Louis, the former BetOnSports CEO is making the best of an unfortunate situation.

(
9 June 2007
)
The U.S. House of Representatives got its first opportunity on Friday to hear arguments for and against the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act, Rep.

9 June 2007
)

(
27 April 2007
)

(
26 April 2007
)
U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, R-Mass., chats with IGN about his new bill to regulate Internet gambling in the United States.
From the Editor's Chair - v22
(
15 March 2007
)
The Chair
hasn't been occupied for 26 months, but a day in exile (due to a plumbing situation at the office that has left the editorial department's working stations in a state of putrefaction) has resulted in a handful of reflections worth editorializing. The latest from the chair: assessments of the PPA's effectiveness, Barney Frank's mission and the Placanica ruling, as well as observations made during PCIG in Macau.
