Federal prosecutors seek sentencing for bookmaker Wayne Nix in California gambling case
Wayne Nix, who ran an illegal sports gambling business in California, is awaiting sentencing for conspiracy, the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said. His sentencing is expected in the coming months; former baseball player Yasiel Puig was convicted of obstruction and making false statements in a related case and is due to be sentenced on 26 May.
The case concerns enforcement against an illegal betting operation and related proceedings involving a former customer.
