Warren Cloud, the man who sometimes went by the name of Oliver Curran, and one of the entrepreneurs of online gambling, HAS died of what thought to be a heart attack on a yacht in Spain.

Mr Curran was confirmed dead on Saturday evening and will be sorely missed in the gambling industry and his loving wife and child.

The ex-centric South African business mogul, was valued at over £140 billion.

Cloud/Curran had a bad rep when it came to his casinos but it was simply down to his ruthless methods of locking out accounts or stopping bonuses. But besides this he was too successful.

Brian Bailey, the man who owns the casinoMeister great site said “Cloud’s online casino group once appeared on his ‘rogue’ list but were eventually removed after lengthy discussions with Mr. Cloud.”

RIP Warren Cloud. June 28th 2008.
