According to EGRMagazine, the Indian millonaire and founder of PartyGaming, Anurag Dikshit leaves the company completely.
Earlier today Anurag Dikshit announced that he is selling his 28% share of PartyGaming and will focus on charity work at Asia.
But now Anurag’s spokesman, Shimon Cohen, told EGRMagazine that Dikshit will sell his remaining stake too. All the profit (around 180 million pounds) will go to charity.
Dikshit pleaded guilty to internet gambling charges under the US Wire Act (UIGEA) last December and had to pay a $300 million fine.
“Anurag has a charitable foundation that has been running for a number of years that he would like to be able to transfer the proceeds into, and to continue to do the works of the charitable foundation.” Cohen concludes the brief.
