    I think he goes down in this case. They have a witness who I think the jury will find credible. He's sweating bullets. Then they still might call Phil Mikelson to the stand, who I know will bury Billy. He's in a bad spot.

    Ouch. That sucks for him. Insider trading is only ok when the banks and big institutions do it. It's not for the everyday man.

    Unless he does a Michael Milken move and pays up a shit load of money, he is most likely will die in prison.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ing-conviction

    Billy Walters made a fortune wagering on sports. He wasn’t as good betting on an insider-trading jury.
    Walters was convicted Friday in the highest-profile -- and most colorful -- insider-trading trial in years. Testimony featured golfer Phil Mickelson and billionaire investor Carl Icahn, as well as a seamy world of gambling debts, stock tips delivered on burner phones and charity money used for prostitutes.
    "If I would have made a bet, I would have lost," Walters told reporters as he left court. "I just did lose the biggest bet of my life. Frankly I’m in shock."
    "To say I was surprised would be the biggest understatement of my life," he added.
    The verdict was delivered as Mickelson started second-round play at the Masters -- the first major professional golf tournament of the year -- in Augusta, Georgia.
    Walters had bragged that he never had a losing year in his career wagering on football and basketball. But he faced the longest of odds in taking on the Justice Department, which wins almost 95 percent of its cases.
    Now -- after a four-week trial -- the 70-year-old Las Vegas gambler faces a lengthy prison term. The maximum sentence on the most serious charge is 20 years. The jury found him guilty of all 10 counts of fraud and conspiracy after about 5 1/2 hours of deliberations.
    “Billy Walters lost his bet that he could cheat the securities market on a massive scale,” acting Manhattan U.S. Attorney, Joon H. Kim, said in a statement. “Walters underestimated law enforcement’s resolve to pursue and catch those who cheat the market.”

    Sentencing July 14. He'll be in prison during appeals. Only way he beats it is he tries to escape.

    Did he really think he was going to skate federal charges? If so, not as good of a handicapper as he thinks he is.

    I figured this was going to be his last stand. Feds have been after him since the early 90's and they weren't going to quit until they got him. Don't ever mess with the feds, they will chase you until your dying day if they have to.

    Can you imagine how much gambling would take place if place Billy Walters and Adam Meyer in the same Federal Prison? Those two would bet on ant races.
