SealsWithClubs Founder Bryan Micon to Appear in Court on Thursday

The founder of the bitcoin poker site SealsWithClubs (SWC) Brian Micon is heading back to the U.S. to face charges for illegal gambling after four months spent in Antigua.

According to his defense lawyer David Chesnoff, from the popular Vegas-based Chesnoff & Schonfeld law firm, Micon intends to participate in a hearing set for Thursday, June 25, to discuss the accusation moved against the Bitcoin-only online poker site he led until February 9, 2015.

This will be the first time Micon has returned to U.S. soil since fleeing to Antigua with his family after his home in Las Vegas was raided by police in February.
