Dude’s a nut. Wannabe gangster. Didn’t want his son here for that reason.

Isn’t his zone going to be a freshman somewhere? What a moron

His son is at USC and is out for the year now with injury.

It just makes no sense, he’s got plenty of money to make more money legitimately. I get that this is easy money in his eyes but no reason to even take the risk IMO. It’s like those dudes who start running drugs after making 100 million dollars.

There are a lot more important things for law enforcement to do then to go after someone for hosting a poker game

Listen, just because the illegal poker ring was named "Arenas Poker Club" and the logo was someone wearing Gilbert Arenas' jersey doesn't mean Gilbert Arenas is guilty of this. Shame on you for all jumping to judgement.

“Than.”

Yeah, that’s all it was . He lied to the feds about high stakes games with Israeli transnational organized crime figures(s) involved, armed guards and young women being provided for “companionship.” What could go wrong?

Apparently it was ran by Israeli crime ring assets, I assume that’s why they investigated it. He just happened to be the guy they hooked up with. It’s deeper than the poker game. They also provided prostitution and armed guards so it’s much more than a local 1-2 game on game night.

Repeated offender. Man it’s time to grow up

OR his breaking the law and cavorting with international organized crime figures poses a threat to national security (money laundering, foreign influence operations, human trafficking…)?

You might want to read the indictment before you make that blanket statement. If true, this was just a little bit more than some rich people gambling in his basement.
