While much of the online gaming world continues to thrive quietly, without the publicity and advertising storm of a few years ago, the same can’t be said for the industry’s premier publicity hounds.

Calvin Ayre’s penchant for thumbing his nose at the US Government has, as most expected, come back to haunt online gaming leader Bodog. Forbes reports tonight that the heat is on Bodog, with $24 million confiscated from accounts kept by the company and their payment processors. Further action would be no surprise.

Bodog founder Ayre supposedly left the company this summer, though there’s a surprising lack of information in his Wikipedia entry on the controversy that has surrounded the mercurial gaming entrepreneur. You get the sense that Wikipedia Sanitizer was a full time position in Vancouver.
