Re: Biggest fish in high stakes games?
This i know about shawn:
Sheikhan’s family arrived in the States with only $30,000. His father bought a little gas station in San Jose, and commuted from Santa Cruz for several years to operate it. The family eventually moved to San Jose, where Shawn went to high school. Then they moved to Las Vegas, but Shawn didn’t like it there, because by this time, he had friends in San Jose. So he moved back. His father bought another gas station, and Shawn managed it for him there. But he finally returned to Las Vegas in 1995 to follow business pursuits and be closer to his family.
Sheikhan now owns a chain of six retail stores in Las Vegas called Diversity. They are smoke shops that sell other items also, like shoes, clothing, and novelties, and are well known for tattoos and piercings. He’s currently negotiating a commercial real estate deal for a piece of property where he plans on building a strip mall with another Diversity store anchoring it, while leasing out the rest of the property. He’s also invested in other residential and commercial real estate, doing quite well over the past 10 years.
