NEW YORK (AP) - A Canadian man who helped create a company to process Internet gambling transactions pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge Tuesday, about two weeks after another founder of Neteller PLC entered a guilty plea of his own.
John David Lefebvre, 55, a Neteller co-founder, entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, where prosecutors are trying to stop companies that operate overseas from violating U.S. laws against Web-based gambling. Neteller PLC is based in the Isle of Man.
In a plea deal, he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and testify if necessary. He also agreed to be partly responsible for the $100 million the government is seeking in restitution.
