Re: Borgata PR sports betting charges being brought
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] andrew was the first name i though about when i read this. dave [/ QUOTE ] Can you describe him? Is he one of the regular high limit players, or am I thinking of someone else. By the way, the "Andrew" arrested obviously was not me. My life is not that interesting. [/ QUOTE ] You're probably thinking of the right person. He looks Italian, short hair, medium/slender build, medium height. Been playing more no-limit recently than anything else (at least when I've been around). His buddy Ian is also listed as charged. As someone above mentioned, if some of these regulars are banned, some of the games will definitely affected.

Re: Borgata PR sports betting charges being brought
Ian was loansharking and it was assumed public knowledge on 2+2.
Perhaps somebody can recall which thread.

[/ QUOTE ] If the "Andrew" that you just described has black hair, then I am thinking of the right person. Are you sure that the Ian named in this list of those charged - "Ian Blackman" - is the same Ian that plays regularly in the 80/160 and 40/80 limit games? I've played with 80/160 Ian a ton but never knew his last name, and I don't think that we should fan rumors unless we are sure.

And I'm positive that's the right Ian, I've played with him at those limits and know him better than I do Andrew. Plus I've always known his last name, got his cell # as well. For the record I think Ian's a nice guy.

I've always gotten along fine with the people from the list of those charged whose names I recognize. This whole scandal is just really dumb. I suppose that greed got the better of those involved. ???50% interest??? Come on. That's ASKING for someone to narc.

Re: Borgata PR sports betting charges being brought
Also arrested was legendary AC railbird and High-Limit Valet Fekre Tesgaye, better known as 'Fish.' They got him on money laundering charges for cashing folks out to help them avoid CTRs.

[/ QUOTE ] I want fish's job minus the money laundering but I guess a lot of his customers are in jail anyway. Any rumors of the Borgata's response? I am assuming permaban. Vince is royally f'd, I'll leave out the details as to why as I am sure they will get deleted anyway but I am sure it will come out eventually.
