US drops charges against Calvin Ayre and Bodog

In February 2012, the US Attorney for the District of Maryland indicted Bodog, Calvin Ayre and three other individuals on charges of illegal gambling and money laundering conspiracy. Now, US federal prosecutors have dropped all charges filed against Ayre and the Bodog online gambling business.

The indictment from Feruary 2012 accused Bodog of offering gambling services to US customers between June 2006 and January 2012.

According to the Department of Justice, Bodog and the charged individuals were responsible for more than US$ 100 million in gambling proceeds being transmitted to customers in the United States.

Last Friday (July 14th) Chief Judge Catherine Blake of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland accepted a resolution that dismissed all of the felony charges against Calvin Ayre and Bodog. All of the charges against the other individuals were dismissed separately a short time ago.

In a statement to his gaming industry news portal CalvinAyre.com, Ayre dismissed suggestions that the settlement would result in major changes to his current lifestyle, saying he planned to carry on his role as an online gaming industry analyst, tech investor and philanthropist. "But most importantly, I’m just going to continue enjoying life to the fullest.”
