"Free Carruthers" Website Appears.

A website dedicated to the circumstances of the case against BetonSports and publicizing the predicament that David Carruthers finds himself in has made an appearance on the Internet.

The website FreeDavidCarruthers.com, shows a large photograph of Carruthers, taken in better times, beaming while standing on top of a London building. The website invites opinions for and against his situation. The information section of the site stresses that it is in no way connected with or motivated by BetonSports as a corporate entity.

The site has drawn wide public attention to anti-online gambling legislation, attempts to quash it and the notorious exemptions for horse racing and state lotteries when the avowed intention of the politicians was to protect American families and morals. The site also examines the potential for the erosion of further Internet freedoms and gives details of the Carruthers arrest and how he has been subsequently treated.

Editorial content on the site asks: “So, what is his crime? Is he a murderer, a dangerous terrorist, or even a white collar criminal responsible for embezzling millions of dollars?

“No, his ‘crime’ is that he is a vocal advocate of online gambling regulation in the US. This site is dedicated to exposing the hypocrisy of the current US Administration in its attitude to gambling, and its attempts to persecute people operating businesses legally outside its own borders.”

There is a box for the use of those who would like to comment on the issue and an    e-mail address is provided to contact the website administrators.   freedavid@freedavidcarruthers.com
