Yep. The first ever NCAA death penalty. UK leading the way!

From what I have heard mob members figured out if you drop less bodies you aren't public enemy number 1 and you can blend into the background and commit more crimes without impunity until this drops.

And they're saying the poker games had ties to the mafia...

He must have a mob bookie having their hooks into him for a big debt and he decided to payoff the debt by steering whales to these rigged games.

I thought this only happened in the movies....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mrNhIxOGzw

Pro poker players were talking about there being issues in Billups poker games in 2023

All the pros were losing in games hosted in LA and Vegas while randos were winning big

The two yokels were captured and are serving life sentences you think they wouldn't roll on whatever mobster put them up to a hit?

How much was the tinfoil hat sale at Walmart?

Mobsters never get locals to do the job

Never

I’m sure the locals will roll and get murdered in prison day one. Sure

Keep your pie in the sky dreams about Jordan though

It’s all connected

They would get put in segregation and sing like canaries and whatever mobster would get busted for conspiracy to commit murder or similar charges.

Look what happened to Ray Carruth, his henchman flipped when he was staring at the needle...

Serious question. Why wouldn’t Jordan pay his gambling debts? He was a walking ATM who’s been a money printing machine. Even if he lost an enormous amount enough would eventually come in to pay it off.
