Don’t bet on it; whether officials with one of the biggest off-shore internet gambling companies will show up in federal court in St. Louis this afternoon to face mail and wire fraud charges. BetOnSports also is accused of illegally accepting billions of dollars in bets from United States residents. Attorneys for the company did not appear for a pre-hearing conference last week. An FBI agent working on the case says he doubts the top officials with the company will ever come back to the United States. The company has faciltieis in Costa Rica and Antigua, where United states extradition laws do not apply.
