Bitcoin online poker advocate Bryan Micon returning to Nevada to face charges
Fugitive bitcoin online poker operator Bryan Micon will return to the United States to face illegal gambling charges.
Micon currently resides in Antigua, dodging an arrest warrant Nevada authorities issued in April for operating an unlicensed interactive gaming system. Earlier this week, a judge lifted the warrant to enable Micon to travel back to Nevada for a hearing on Thursday (25).
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Micon would be booked and then released on his own recognizance. Micon is being represented by David Chesnoff, part of the team that resolved Paul Phua’s legal gambling issues. Micon’s charges carry a maximum penalty of ten years in prison and a $50k fine.
Micon stands accused of operating the now defunct Bitcoin-only online poker site Sealswithclubs. In February, the site abruptly announced it was closing its doors for good. A few days later, Micon revealed that a “bunch of guys with guns” had raided his Nevada home and seized “most of my electronics,” prompting him to up sticks and relocate to Antigua. Micon has since launched a new site under the banner of SwCPoker.eu
