Gambling firm founders held
The American authorities have swooped on the founding shareholders of NETeller, the company which specialises in money transfers between online gambling sites and players. Stephen Lawrence and John Lefebvre, both former directors of the firm, were detained in the US yesterday, while travelling separately. NETeller called for a suspension of trading in its shares as it revealed the shock development this morning. The online payment group said neither Mr Lawrence nor Mr Lefebvre has any current position with or connection to NETeller, other than as shareholders.
