A co-founder of an Internet gambling company has pleaded guilty to a federal crime and agreed to forfeit $300 million.

The plea was entered by Anurag Dikshit of India Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan. He is the co-founder of PartyGaming, an online gambling company registered in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Dikshit, who pleaded guilty to violating the federal wire act, signed a cooperation agreement, and prosecutors indicated they might eventually submit a letter to the judge asking for leniency. The charge carries a potential prison term of up to two years.

Mr. Dikshit and a defense lawyer, Mark Pomerantz, declined to comment."
