Online Poker CEOs Take U.S. Off Itinarary
19th of September 2006
Calvin Ayre is not one that you would consider nonsocial. He is typically spotted among an entourage of close friends and associates and a harem of beautiful women. But lately he has been sticking close to home in Costa Rica or hanging out at his native home in Canada. While his company Bodog.com throws lavish parties in Las Vegas, it is clear that he does not plan to take any trips to the U.S. any time soon. He is one of the many top executives of online poker companies that are in the crosshairs of the U.S. Justice Department for taking bets from U.S. citizens. Along with SportingBet.com, PartyPoker.com, BetOnSports.com and others, Ayre and company are walking cautiously to see how the U.S. further handles prosecution of online poker companies.
