54-year old Clyde Bryant has been out on bond- -since shortly after his arrest on a remote island on the Outer Banks last September.
But the judge ordered his bond revoked, now that Bryant has pleaded guilty to two new felonies: money laundering and wire fraud.
The F-B-I says Bryant handled more than 10-thousand dollars in fraudulent transactions between 1993 and 1996.... and squandered his investors' money at the gaming tables.
Bryant is likely to get five years to serve, as part of the plea agreement entered today.

((The generals came into Saturday's game against the Big Red with it's highest ranking in 10 years. But W & L could only watch as Denison exploded midway through the third quarter to end a promising post season. But this team is still thankful because of defenseman Brian Brantley. The junior never made it to the playoffs. In April his visit to the school's infirmary for flu symptoms escalated into a Cat Scan revealing a growth on his brain that required immediate surgery.

It is unknown if Brantley will play lacrosse again. However, he is planning on returning to Washington and Lee this Fall to complete his education and graduate on time. Zeb Mellett News 7 Sports.))
