Anurag Dikshit is one of the founders of the leading online gaming company PartyGaming Plc. He has now decided to sell all his shares in the company after earlier this year announcing that he "only" would sell 2/3. The reason for this is that he wants to leave the betting industry and instead work with charity in Asia. 

Anurag Dikshit owns 28 percent (worth around £188 millions) of ParyGaming's stocks. All the money he makes from selling his share in the company will go to the charity foundation in Asia that he intends to work full-time with in the future.

Today the online gaming portal PartyGaming revealed that they are close to making a settlement with the US Department of Justice (DoJ) in order to avoid a criminal plea.

This announcement was made before they were expected to appear in court in New York. Anurag Dikshit is the biggest shareholder in PartyGaming and he was the one who was expected to show up in court and plead guilty to a charge relating to taking wagers over the internet from US players.Read more » PartyGaming Owner Makes a Deal with US DoJ
