Tzvetkoff Bail Rescinded

Payment processor to stay behind bars for trial

Yep, it\’s official … the Feds weren\’t gonna let Daniel Tzvetkoff get away/offed before his historic UIGEA case made it to trial. Yesterday, as we were half-reporting on this likely development, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan — in New York\’s Southern District, of course — was issuing the order over-riding the conditional bail granted by Las Vegas federal magistrate Peggy Leen … (who apparently didn\’t get the memo about how serious the Feds were taking this case!)

Click here to read the court order assuring Tzvetkoff will remain behind bars throughout the pre-trial process.

The reason Judge Kaplan cited for denying bail was \”a serious risk the defendant will not appear\” as he faces \”clear and convincing evidence\” against him.
