About LinkBacksBrent Beckley, one of the owners of Absolute Poker and a defendants in the Black Friday indictments, was given a 14-month prison sentence on Monday after pleading guilty late last year.
Full story here: http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/0...8IN7Z820120723U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Beckley deserved prison time despite his surrender and cooperation because "the sentence has to make clear that the government of the United States means business in these types of cases."
"I fooled myself into thinking that what I was doing was OK," Beckley told the judge.
