Daniel Tzvetkoff, the man who assisted the feds in going after the owners of PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker in an event known as Black Friday, might not go to prison.
According to The Courier-Mail, a probation report recommends a sentence of between six and 12 months in prison, but it’s unlikely he’ll serve any more time behind bars. He spent four months in a New York prison after he was arrested.
He reportedly is back in Australia and working again.
Tzvetkoff pleaded guilty to bank fraud and money-laundering charges.
“For a first-time offender who has never before experienced prison, four-plus months inside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn constitutes a harsh and significant punishment," his lawyer said.
Tzvetkoff became rich via his financial processing company Intabill, which the government said did business with illegal offshore poker sites catering to Americans.
Online gambling sites accused him of stealing around $100 million from them.
