PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Gary Kaplan is Negative . Gary Kaplan  50  must also forfeit $43.6 million in illegally obtained revenue as part of a plea agreement. Prosecutors have said that amounts to more than half of Kaplan's total worth.
 Kaplan pleaded guilty in August to racketeering conspiracy  violating the Wire Wager Act and conspiring to violate it. Prosecutors had been investigating offshore sports gambling since 1997  and BetOnSports since 2001.
 Kaplan  sentenced to four years and three months  could end up spending another year behind bars. He has been jailed for two years and seven months since his March 2007 arrest in Puerto Rico. U.S. District Judge Carol Jackson said it will be up to the Bureau of Prisons to determine if he is given credit for time served. Attorneys in the case noted that federal rules call for him serving 85 percent of the 51-month sentence  minus whatever credit he may be given for time served.
 In his guilty plea in August  Kaplan said BetOnSports had 1 million registered customers and accepted more than 10 million sports bets worth more than $1 billion in 2004 alone. HisHis company  by then based in Costa Rica  employed 1 700 people.
 Kaplan took BetOnSports public on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market in 2004  which netted him more than $100 million that was deposited in Swiss bank accounts. For the next two years  he served as a BetOnSports consultant.
 Prosecutors said the company falsely advertised that its gambling operations were legal  and misled gamblers into believing that money transferred to BetOnSports was safe and available to withdraw at any time. Instead  investigators said  the money was used to expand operations  including purchase of a rival betting firm.
 Kaplan told Jackson in August that he initially believed that adhering to the laws in Aruba  Antigua  Costa Rica  the Dominican Republic and the United Kingdom kept him in good stead with U.S. laws. But he said he became aware as early as 2000 that such dealings violated U.S. law  and got confirmation in a legal opinion in 2002. Yet  he kept operating.
 Kaplan apologized to the judge Monday for the "pain and embarrassment" he caused to his family  and said he'd "paid a monumental price for poor decisions." His attorneys said that Kaplan  from his jail cell  has made six-figure contributions to St. Louis-area charities in recent months.
 Jackson said while recognizing Kaplan's generosity  she was "a little put off" by letters she's received from those charities on his behalf.
 "When I make a charitable contribution  I don't expect credit " she said. "I hope you will continue to support worthy charitable organizations even when it doesn't further any personal interest you may have."

âThis administration will stand in the way of  Kim âs desire to whitewash their murderous regime with nice photo ops at the Olympics. Perhaps thatâs why they walked away from a meeting or perhaps they were never sincere about sitting down â Ayers said in the statement.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bullock is Negative . WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Montana will sign contracts only with internet service providers that honor "net neutrality" firms   Governor Steve Bullock  said on Monday  the latest effort by a state to undermine a Federal Communications Commission order rolling back rules introduced in 2015.
 Bullock  signed an executive order requiring state contract recipients to adhere to so-called net neutrality  which barred internet service providers from blocking or throttling traffic or offering paid fast lanes  also known as paid prioritization.
A spokeswoman for the FCC declined to comment on the decision by  Bullock   a Democrat.
"There has been a lot of talk around the country about how to respond to the recent decision by Federal Communications Commission to repeal net neutrality rules  which keep the internet free and open. It's time to actually do something about it "  Bullock  said in a statement. "This is a simple step states can take to preserve and protect net neutrality. We can't wait for folks in Washington DC to come to their senses and reinstate these rules."
