    Billy Walters may be going to prison...

    Update by SBR: Billy Walters Found Guilty of Insider Trading

    ____


    How much is enough? The guy was living like a king until his own friend rolled over on him. I don't think he's going to get out of this one, he's looking at minimum 8 years in the federal Pen.

    Davis said he blew the $625,000 he got through Walters, including losing $200,000 on one hand of blackjack at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in 2011.
    Cosmo has 200K BJ tables?

    Might be some juicy reading down the road. This Davis guy sounds like a black hole form of degenerate?

    Yes, I got pretty sick of him during championship week. Dave Pasch should get some kind of sain award for putting up with him.

    Addicted to action and secrets. I'm pretty sure inside information is how he made a lot of his money on college sports also.

    I'm surprised some bookie isn't offering odds on this just as an F.U.

    A lot of the top casinos have "hidden" ultra-high roller rooms that the public don't have access to. I think $100,000+ a hand is fairly common at The Mansion.

    Actually, it might have been the only chance the guy had to win 200k is on one hand. If he buys in for 200k and plays a dime a hand - he will get ground up for sure.

    if the guy was down $175K

    making a ONE hand bet of 200K is not a bad proposition

    Billy made a lot of his money buying real estate in the Vegas area and then having the local governments re-zone the property to his advantage. Example, re-zone residential to industrial, then sell back the property to the State for millions in profits. So yea, he was a scam artists. He had local politicians bought all over the place.

    Billy's been indicted 6 times, gotten off scot-free every one. Bet against him at your own risk.
