Gilbert Arenas & Israeli crime figures arrested by DOJ/FBI for illegal gambling business

[daemonova]

Arrested development. Freedom at stake and the only thing he can worry about is keeping up appearances. That laugh is transparent -- he's terrified. Prime example of someone that's incapable of getting out of their own way.

Everybody doing the same Eddie Murphy impression, but what I'm realizing after 40 years, nobody is on key. If you are going to sing the song, please be on key.

"They took my passport. Like, damn, my passport? That's crazy... because I have another one."

Standard operating procedure that DOJ will seize his passport till the case is done

He’s such an idiot

It's hate to say that a dude that has a history of doing dumb shyt and making things worse when on thin ice should stop doing dumb shyt when he's on thin ice?

The poker nights allegedly featured hired chefs, armed guards, valets and a custom felt-topped poker table with “Arenas Poker Club” embossed in all-caps and black and gold.

The indictment alleges that one man in the crew, Israeli suspected organized crime figure Yevgeni Gershman, hired women to work at the games. In exchange for tips, the women served cocktails, provided massages and offered “companionship” to poker players, the indictment states. The women were then required to pay a “tax” of 25% to 35% of their earnings just to be able to work at the games, authorities claim.

Prosecutors alleged Gershman in May 2022 texted a woman to ask her, in code, “whether she was open to engaging in prostitution at his illegal poker game at the Gable House that night.”

So he just has chefs and armed guards coming in and out of his house and knows nothing about any of it. Now there's prostitution charges possibly on the table

Prosecutors claim the poker games differed from friendly card-game nights because the house collected a “rake,” which is a percentage or fixed fee from each pot. The games involved roughly two dozen players and more than a dozen staff members to facilitate illegal gambling, prosecutors said, and operated from September 2021 through July 2022.

The indictment lays out a complicated allegedly criminal enterprise centering around the games. Gershman, 49, allegedly handled the day-to-day, while Arenas allegedly collected rent and fees through an agent. West Hollywood man Arthur Kats, 51, allegedly served as the go-between, authorities said, collecting thousands of dollars in rent payments and setting up the house for game nights. Four others were charged, according to court documents, including Evgenni Tourevski, 48, of Tarzana; Allan Austria, 52, of West Hills; Yarin Cohen, 27, of Tarzana; and Ievgen Krachun, 43, of Tarzana. The indictment states that crew allegedly managed the actual operations, recruiting players and handling money.

There they go throwing around that term "criminal enterprise". Except this one's not for cucking out mixed bytches and more in line with what actually gets time

The indictment includes text messages allegedly showing that Arenas was aware of pot-limit Omaha games and that he at one point contemplated filming a YouTube episode at one of the games for his channel, Gil’s Arena, which has more than 1 million subscribers.

But he didn't know them and they don't know english

Yeah no disrespect to that one guy, you're only repeating what he said on the stream. But that's the problem you're arguing for a moron that obviously thinks the feds know as little as we do

Bruh has a table with “Arenas Poker Club” on it, lol at thinking the feds will be like “Alright that settles it, nothing to see here”
