An internet tycoon who made billions of dollars building an online gambling empire has agreed to forfeit $300m after pleading guilty to violating the US Wire Act.
Anurag Dikshit, co-founder of Gibraltar-based PartyGaming, entered the plea Tuesday in US District Court in Manhattan. A lawyer for Dikshit told US District Judge Jed Rakoff that over time his client developed "a growing awareness of the illegality" of offering online poker and other games of chance to residents of the US, according to news reports.
