London - The chairman of U.K.-based online gambling firm Sportingbet, who was the second executive to be arrested by U.S. authorities for allegedly breaking U.S. laws against online gambling, resigned his position on Friday after a judge allowed him to leave the U.S., Reuters reported. Sportingbet chairman Peter Dicks must return to New York on Sept. 28 to face charges of "gambling by computer" under Louisiana law. Dicks is the second executive at an online gambling firm to lose his job after being arrested by U.S. authorities; the other, BetOnSports CEO David Carruthers, was fired after his arrest while traveling through the U.S. in July.
