Perhaps the most basic stereotype about Jews is the one about how they love money and will backstab anybody for money (this dates back to the Romans and their anti-usury laws where only Jews were allowed to loan money for interest and Jews were tax-collectors).

It is ironic that a Jew, Stuie Ungar, is probably known as the person who most devalued money. Mike Matusow (also a Jew) is a well known money degenerate. Add to this the many Jews who are involved with gambling and you have either a strange coincidence, or a backlash to the stereotype.

Or maybe the stereotype is just a bunchy of anti-semitic [censored] in the first place.
