Maryland has attempted to prosecute the trio since 2012 when it originally filed the complaint.The state alleges that Bodog offered illegal sports bets from a period spanning 2005 through 2012. For his part Ayre claims that Maryland's case is an abuse of the US court system and that online betting is legal under international law.

It is thought that Ayre is living between Canada and Antigua, while some rumors also put him in the Philippines.
