      Billy Walters 5 Years

      Sports gambler Walters sentenced to 5 years for insider trading

      ReutersJuly 27, 2017NEW YORK, July 27 (Reuters) -

      Famed Las Vegas sports gambler Billy Walters was sentenced on Thursday to five years in prison, following his April conviction in one of the highest profile U.S. insider trading trials in years.

      U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel in Manhattan also ordered Walters, 71, to pay a $10 million fine. The defendant is due to surrender on Oct. 10.
      Walters was accused by federal prosecutors of making more than $43 million in realized profits and avoided losses from 2008 to 2014 based on stock tips from a board member of dairy processing company Dean Foods Co.
      During the sentencing hearing, Castel called the crime "amateurishly simple," and rejected Walters' request to be sentenced to a year and a day.

      "Billy Walters is a cheater and a criminal, and not a very clever one," Castel said. "At this point in life, money was a way of keeping score."

      Walters plans to appeal. (Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York, editing by G Crosse)

                Walters is a greedy old scumbag

                How could you possibly need more cash at 71 years old? Goes to show you its not about the money, its the constant feeding of the ego that burns these geezers

                    Can't believe he thought he'd get away with it.


                    Not as smart as many thought. But I heard he made his money booking, not betting.

                      5 years is a gift in the federal system.....

                      with good time, halfway house and a program he will be out in 2.5 years


                      If you sale a 1/4 pound of weed with a gun in your sock you get 15 years

                                                What the line he passes away on the inside. He will probably only be there 44 months max.

                                                  $10 million fine. Poor guy. Maybe we should start a gofundme page for him. Or have a car wash or bake sale.

                                                      It's sort of sad in a way.... at 71 years of age... how long do you really have to live?

                                                      Insider trading happens a lot! System is so full of sh#$. This has to do with the idea of being involved or... AROUND the sports wagering world several years ago.

                                                            Probably some country club joint, but at his age he could be in trouble.

                                                            Sucks how they put him away and all the Wall St FUKKs who screwed the entire world economy in 08, not 1 guy went to jail.
                                                            They are back at it again, renaming same old fee heavy BS "investment vehicles".
