I thought it was PartyGaming, but I might be wrong.

I heard there are 4 main investors. One is an American lawyer named Ruth Parasol(sp). The other is some Indian guy who wrote the software. There is no single individual who has a controlling interest.

I think his name must be Dixit - the "dix" rhymes with "six". Bollywood has a gorgeous actress with the name Madhuri Dixit.

I have never heard of an Indian name "Dickshit"...it is a ridiculously comical name if that is what it is though...heh

I went to high school with a guy whose name was Ufuk (Pronounced "You-fook"). First week in gym class, our hero and his defence partner are taking too long of a shift while playing ball hockey despite the gym teacher's efforts to have them come to the bench. The exasperated gym teacher finally bellows out "Johnson, Off! You-fook, Off!" LOL.... That was it, end of the game, we were all laughing too hard to continue.

His full name is Anurag Dikshit.

If you read that article, the guys name is in there as Dikshit. I've seen later things say Dixit because that's how it's pronounced, but the dudes name is Dikshit.

Reminds me of when I was watching Tsunami relief show, the one doctors name was Dr Porntip.
