Ep 292: Who's the man behind the Doe in DraftKings extortion suit?

Sadly, Thursday's usual duo of Jessica Welman and Charlie Horner will not be on today’s episode of iGaming Daily as Charlie decided that annual leave was more important than this podcast schedule. 

However, the show goes on as James Ross joins Jessica Welman to jump into, what she describes, as her biggest story break of her career, with the reveal of who’s behind the DraftKings extortion suit.

Earlier this week, the news broke that an unnamed plaintiff is alleging that famed bettor Gadoon “Spanky” Kyrollos attempted to extort him using information given to him by DraftKings Sportsbook. After some sluething, Jessica Welman later claimed she unmasked the John Doe.

And this will be the topic of today's episode of iGamin Daily, supported by Optimove, as Jessica unravels the case and reveals how she came to know Doe's identity.
