From Gambling 911:
A 44-year-old man allegedly tried to extort PokerListings for nearly $2 million; the site's murdered cofounder, Andreas Oscarsson, was to testify against him this week on aggravated racketeering charges. The unidentified man claims he was working for operatives of billionaire Stefan Bengtsson, an early investor in PokerListings and one of the richest men in Sweden - supposedly trying to collect promised monies withheld after passage of the UIGEA.
