    Default update on founder of bitcoin online poker site

    http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2...oid-jail-time/ says that Byran Micon fled to Antigua after a raid.

    It looks like he'll be paying fines but staying out of jail.

    Yeah, he has quite a reputation. This part of the http://vegasmagazine.com/people/arti...david-chesnoff article caught my eye:
    Chesnoff established himself as a favorite of poker stars, advising Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan, and the late Chip Reese, among others. When Jamie Gold won the World Series of Poker in 2006, there was a dispute with a card-playing TV producer who claimed to have been promised half of Gold’s winnings; Chesnoff went to bat for the producer and the suit was eventually settled.
