Just a day after US Department of Homeland Security seized the domain name Bodog.com, the US District Court for the District of Maryland unsealed an indictment against him.
Ayre is accused, along with three other men, of conspiring to commit money laundering and conducting an illegal business that generated millions of dollars in winnings, according to a report on Bloomberg.
Funds were allegedly moved by the men from Bodog’s accounts in Switzerland, the UK, Malta and Canada to pay winnings to gamblers and US media brokers.
If convicted, they reportedly face a maximum of five years in prison for conducting the gambling business and 20 years in prison for money-laundering conspiracy.
