BetED.com Head Gets 2 Years Probation in ‘Blue Monday’ Online Gambling Conviction
Darren Wright, the 43-year-old head of now defunct online gambling outfit BetED.com, has been given two years probation for his role in running the establishment.
Wright was charged with bank fraud and aiding and abetting in regard to running an illegal gambling operation.
The US Attorney’s Office in Maryland had set up an elaborate sting operation that netted Wright and another individual from BetED.com. Close to another dozen online gambling domain names were seized as a result of the probe.
The so-called “Blue Monday” indictments were handed down just one month after the infamous “Black Friday” indictments of PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker.
