Bryan Micon Takes Plea Deal In Bitcoin Poker Site CasePoker Pro To Avoid Prison In Silver State |
|
Professional poker player Bryan Micon, who formerly ran a poker site that dealt in bitcoins, has pleaded guilty to a charge in Nevada that will allow him to avoid a possible 10-year prison sentence.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, Micon’s plea deal resulted in the reduction of the felony charge to a gross misdemeanor. In addition to probation, he must pay a $25,000 fine.
He was in Antigua but returned to Nevada this week to face the charge against him.
Micon was accused of running Seals with Clubs illegally from Nevada.
His case is believed to be the first of its kind for Nevada, which legalized online poker several years ago for its licensed casino operators and their respective tech partners.
Micon was represented by Las Vegas-based attorney David Chesnoff, who has represented well-known poker players Phil Ivey, Paul Phua and Dan Bilzerian in the past.
