On Tuesday, Clark County District Court Judge Kerry Earley handed Micon a $25k fine and two years of probation for his role within the Sealswithclubs online poker operation. The sentencing, which also required Micon to forfeit certain items seized by police, follows a deal Micon worked out with Nevada prosecutors this summer.
Micon was formally charged with operating an unlicensed interactive gaming system in April following raids on his Nevada residence in February, through which the authorities seized a great deal of electronic gear and a small amount of Bitcoin. Sealswithclubs shut down a couple of days after the raid and Micon fled along with his family to Antigua, where he launched a brand new poker site, SwCPoker.eu. By June, Micon agreed to go back to the U.S. to stand the music.
