Judge Peggy Leen agreed that Tzvetkoff's charges did not require detention prior to trial and that no US citizen would serve detention time under such circumstances either. She also agreed that Mr Tzvetkoff should travel by car to proceedings moved to New York, where the trial is to be held.

Online gambling sites have accused Tzvetkoff of stealing millions in funds.
