My brother in law was at a neighbor’s house helping him with something when they got on the subject of poker. The neighbor tells him that his cousin is a good player and is on TV sometimes. He then tells him his cousin in Sam Farha. My brother in law asks him where Sam gets his money. The guy says Sam has "investors" who give him money to play with in exchange for the money back at a good return. This seems like a complete clueless or BS answer, I cannot imagine it is true. Maybe this is what Sam told him, but I doubt is true. Kind of odd that Farha seems to be very rich, yet no one knows what he does....even his cousin. Something illegal? BTW I am almost positive the guy wasn’t lying about Sam being his cousin...he was genuinely surprised that he knew who Sam was (he was foreign, and didn’t even think of Sam as "famous"). He only said his cousin played poker for a living and was on TV sometimes, and only said it was Sam Farha after he asked his name, so it wasn’t like he was dropping names to impress him.
