Any names...? I'm always somewhat scared of the gambling sector (too many different laws across countries, too many entities based in dubious jurisdictions...), but I always expected a UK-based organization would be on the safe end of the spectrum. Unless for UK you mean Jersey / Guernsey / Isle of Man, which are at the sketchy end...

Pretty sure it was this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carruthers

(I mixed up the details in my hazy memory - I think my interview was in 2001, so over 20 years ago).

The Wikipedia page links to a different UK betting company / exec who was also arrested in the same manner: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Dicks

Edit: And same company, different executive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kaplan Company looks super-shady in hindsight, I'm glad I didn't take that job :)
