Absolute Poker co-founder Scott Tom has agreed to forfeit $300k as part of his Black Friday plea deal with US federal prosecutors.

In February, Scott Tom returned to US shores to face multiple felony charges filed nearly six years earlier by the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York as part of the April 15, 2011 ‘Black Friday’ online poker indictments of Absolute Poker, Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars.

On May 31, Tom reached a deal with prosecutors that saw him plead guilty to a single misdemeanor of being an accessory after the fact in the transmission of gambling information. Tom is scheduled to be sentenced on September 28 by US Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses.

Documents viewed by CalvinAyre.com indicate that Tom’s plea deal requires him to forfeit $300k, “representing the amount of proceeds traceable to the offense” to which Tom pled guilty. The charge encompassed Tom’s illegal gambling activity between October 2007 and “in or about 2009.”
