NYC mafiosos and NBA stars used a combination of high-tech contraptions and old-school gambling tricks to swindle hapless high-rollers out of $7 million in a sprawling backroom poker scheme, prosecutors alleged in an explosive indictment Thursday.
The years-long con depended on “advanced wireless technologies,” the indictment read, along with a network of operators monitoring games remotely and communicating with handlers planted inside the room — some of whom filled the poker table and were all working together to gauge their unknowing victims.
Card shuffling machines that had been tampered with took center stage in the con, with mobsters from four of New York’s Five Families allegedly rigging them with card readers and computerized analyzers, which would broadcast the best hands to an operator outside the game room. more

ANY SURPRISES HERE?? BLACK NBA CELEBS AND THE MAFIA??
You can take the n’s out of the hood but you can’t take the hood out of the n’s…
So you got an NBA superstar that’s making a bazillion dollars a year who tells all his friends on social media he’s checking out of the game early to cash in on 200K. Which is hand delivered to him and counted in front of him. He belongs in a zoo, throwing his poop at people. What an fing moron.
Now investigate BBall game fixing.
^^^^^
Now do football.
Now do NASCAR.
How can these people be so stupid and so greedy? Did Terry Tozier think that $200,000 bet on the under of his performance on the same game he pulled himself out wouldn’t raise red flags. That’s just one example. How about Billups letting people know his team will be in the tank for a game. Online betting is way too pervasive in my opinion, but one thing about it, there’s a record of who does what. As far as rigged poker goes, who the hell thinks it’s important to sit at the table with celebs, and then lose a million dollars.
I checked out of pro sports along time ago,
I’m still surprised at the number of greedy, wealthy assholes that just don’t think they are getting enough money.
LBS,
Don’t forget the GREASEBALLS.
Some on the buildings I work in are full of the little Italian RETARD wanna be’s. I treat them like shit.
There’s no money in killing me and they contract all that shit out.
Anyone but the guys at the very top are all only HALF A STEP ahead of the next RETARD they OWE MONEY TO.
PICTURE a HOUSE of CARDS.

Rodeo, Indian relay and winged sprint cars on a clay oval for me.
Kcir, from what I understand, Canada is in the process of giving ALL their land back to the “indigenous” nomad mother-fuckers that happened to pass gas in the vicinity of a fucking lake, centuries ago…
LBS,
YEP!

“Wealth” is graded on the curve. Always has been. Always must be.
Who becomes “wealthy”? And how? Always has been. Always must be.
MAGA!
‘At some point, you’ve made enough money’.
Coming to a college team near you.
Cheating? Must be democrat voters.
Make Dodge City poker rules great again.
Is this how Jabba Priztker “got lucky” with his gambling?
Agatha – I don’t think The Prickster actively cheated, he just got “favored” with a wink and a nod in his direction.
