Bryan Micon, former operator of bitcoin poker website Seals with Clubs, is set to face a Nevada judge this week after being charged with operating an unlicensed gaming website.

Micon will return from his home in Antigua for a hearing on Thursday in Las Vegas, defense attorney David Chesnoff told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Micon was previously charged in April with one count of operating an unlicensed interactive gaming website. An arrest warrant in April in connection with those charges has been recalled, the Review-Journal reported, allowing Micon to return to the US.

If convicted, Micon faces up to 10 years in prison and $50,000 in fines.

Seals with Clubs shut down in February, and Micon fled the US shortly thereafter following a raid on his home by officials from the Nevada Gaming Commission. Micon later released a statement on YouTube, currently unavailable, that detailed the raid.

Robinhood misses Q4 revenue estimates as fourth-quarter results dinged by crypto slump

Crypto revenue fell 38% year over year to $221M, even as the company expanded token listings and crypto features across its platform.

What to know:

  • Robinhood’s fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.66 topped estimates for $0.63, but revenue of $1.28 billion fell shy of forecasts for $1.33 billion.
  • The crypto slump paid a large part in the miss, with crypto revenue falling 38% from a year earlier to $221 million.
  • Robinhood’s results mirror broader crypto-market weakness, which is also expected to weigh on rival Coinbase (COIN), and HOOD shares fell about 7% in post-market trading after the earnings release.
