Micon will return from his home in Antigua for a hearing on Thursday in Las Vegas, defense attorney David Chesnoff told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Micon was previously charged in April with one count of operating an unlicensed interactive gaming website. An arrest warrant in April in connection with those charges has been recalled, the Review-Journal reported, allowing Micon to return to the US.

If convicted, Micon faces up to 10 years in prison and $50,000 in fines.

Seals with Clubs shut down in February, and Micon fled the US shortly thereafter following a raid on his home by officials from the Nevada Gaming Commission. Micon later released a statement on YouTube, currently unavailable, that detailed the raid.


What?
I knew that Seals with Clubs shut down in February, but wasn't aware they raided his house.
He started another site, is that still running?
