A federal judge has confirmed he is prepared to accept a guilty plea from John Campos, one of the men indicted in April of 2011 for handling transactions on behalf of three online poker rooms including Full Tilt, PokerStars and Absolute Poker. 

U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ordered prosecutors to explain in writing why they let former St. George banker plead guilty to a misdemeanor bank gambling charge rather than a felony, averting a trial this month.

Another individual, Brent Beckley, is slated to be sentenced tomorrow (April 18, 2012, for his role in running Absolute Poker.
