Bryan Micon's Seals with Clubs poker site was shut down in February,
the newspaper reported, and an arrest warrant filed on Monday in Las
Vegas Justice Court charged Micon with operating an unlicensed
interactive gaming system. The felony count can lead to 10 years in
prison and a $50,000 fine, the newspaper said.
The newspaper said Attorney General Adam Laxalt had set a Tuesday
news conference to announce details of the case.
The Attorney General's office could not be immediately reached for
comment.
Micon's attorney, Richard Schonfeld, could not be immediately
reached, but he told the Review-Journal: "Bryan has always
maintained that he committed no wrongdoing, but I'm not in a
position to comment on the Attorney General's filing because I
haven't seen it."
