Gambling911.com has learned that not only did Bodog lose $10 million to the US Government, but on March 5th the corporate officers for the defendant's, who have dodged the bullet for the past year and a half, will have to appear in person at the Federal Courtroom of Judge Hunt at 9am in Las Vegas or face civil contempt charges by the judge.
