ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) -- A Utah man arrested last week along with 10 others and charged with bank fraud and illegal gambling is set to appear in federal court.
John Campos, part owner of SunFirst Bank, a small, private bank based in St. George, was to appear at 1:30 p.m. Monday before a U. S. magistrate court judge in St. George. It will be his first appearance since being arrested Friday. A message left for his attorney on Monday wasn't immediately returned.
Arrests also occurred last week in Las Vegas.
Prosecutors allege the defendants operated overseas poker companies to generate billions of dollars in illegal gambling profits.
