Evening Standard
25 July 2006
DAVID CARRUTHERS, chief executive of online gambling site BetonSports, was today fired following his arrest in the US last week as the company sought to distance itself from reports of sleazy corporate parties.
DAVID CARRUTHERS: Arrested in the US last week
Carruthers, held in a prison cell outside Dallas on fraud charges, was the last BetonSports director pre-dating the July 2004 flotation of the company still working there.
But weekend reports claimed he welcomed high-rolling guests to parties at the company's Costa Rica spa and health club with American prostitutes flown in for the occasion.
BetonSports said today: 'All these allegations relate to the time prior to...its July 2004 float.'
It said it had been unable to gain access to Carruthers, only having talked to his legal team. However, today's action added to speculation that he could be preparing a plea bargain to testify against company founder Gary Kaplan, who was the subject of most charges in the Department of Justice indictment.
