ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) - A federal judge has agreed to delay the case of two Anderson County men charged with illegal gambling and money laundering.
The Anderson Independent-Mail reported (https://bit.ly/1ihVVg3) that U.S. District Judge Mary Lewis has agreed to a 45-day delay at the request of Assistant U.S. Attorney William Watkins.
Watkins says the Justice Department is still analyzing a proposed settlement of the criminal charges against Bobby Mosley Sr. of Townville and his son-in-law, J. Michael Caldwell of Williamston.
Terms of the settlement have not been released.
The men were arrested in October on a federal indictment that accuses them of overseeing a gaming operation that has accounted for $386 million in illegal gambling and money-laundering proceeds since 2005.
Federal agents also seized more than $80 million in assets linked to the men.
