Brian Molony is a Canadian self-admitted compulsive former gambler from Toronto, famous for embezzling millions from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, the second largest bank in Canada, to feed his personal gambling habit.[1]


Molony, who had developed a passion for the race-track and gambling from the age of ten years, and acted as a bookie for his school-mates, graduated from the University of Western Ontario in London with a degree in journalism. Initially planning to be a financial writer, he did so well in a Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) aptitude test that he was put in their management-training program and hired right out of university. Molony spent a few weeks as a teller before working in savings, current accounts, foreign exchange and loan accounting, then "floating" among some of the Bank's huge network of some 1,600 branches, which gave him a further broad exposure to the bank's highly regimented workings and familiarity with its systems and internal weaknesses.[2] On a modest annual salary of about $10,000, Molony led an unassuming lifestyle in Toronto, wearing inexpensive, ill-fitting clothes and leaving carefully calculated seven per cent tips in restaurants. At the same time, he was embezzling $10.2 million from CIBC to feed his gambling habit, writing loans in the names of both real and fictitious companies. Molony was then able to transfer millions of dollars out of the bank through a company called California Clearing Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Desert Palace, a Las Vegas casino. This corporation's only purpose was to let people deposit sums of money into the casino without detection.[3]


Molony was arrested on April 27, 1982, the day after he lost a million dollars at the tables at Caesars Atlantic City Hotel-Casino. Caesars claimed that it never asked Molony for personal or credit information, yet admitted in court to supplying him with tens of thousands of dollars worth of hotel rooms and private Lear jet travel to and from Las Vegas and Atlantic City.


Molony pled guilty to embezzlement in November 1983, and served two-and-half years in prison. On release, he agreed to a program of restitution and community service, which includes public speaking about the compulsion of gambling. Molony is now married with children, and works as a business consultant.[1]


A federal lawsuit, filed by the CIBC in 1982, contended that Caesars officials induced Molony to gamble even though they knew - or should have known - that the money could not possibly have been his. CIBC's counsel initially stated that he hoped to recover some $4,732,000 that Molony lost at Caesars from February 7, 1981 to April 23, 1982; the terms of the settlement are private.[3] As part of an agreement between the casino and the state Division of Gaming Enforcement, Caesars was forced to close for a day on November 30, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, as a disciplinary measure. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission also levied $36,500 in fines against six Caesars employees. Industry analysts estimated that the casino stood to lose between $700,000 and $800,000 because of the shutdown.[4]


Gary Stephen Ross's best-selling nonfiction book Stung chronicles Molony's 18 months of increasingly brazen fraud and out-of-control gambling. The movie Owning Mahowny was based on Ross's book. Philip Seymour Hoffman played "Dan Mahowny", the character based on Molony.[5]

If we could all give ourselves a revolving line of credit like he did for himself, that would be awesome.

[htown1]

[NoRespect]

i can blame all of my shit on past drugs and alcohol abuse. when sober i'm a fair gambler. this guy in the movie has mental problems

[ithinkiamgood]

Love that movie he has the penetrating casino by the balls and then the sick fukk doesn't know when to get up. Hoffman killed it.

Hoffman rarely even looked at who he is communicating with. He seems annoyed he has to stop gambling and talk to people.His whole existence is to gamble.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Haven't seen it. I will have to check if its available on Netflix or Amazon.

[byronbb]

If any of you can actually read The Gambler by Dostoyevsky is very good novel about a degen.

[unluckysob]

i am thankful i never had access to anybody else money. unpaid loans were bad enough. No matter what they say, bookmakers and casinos love degenerate gamblers.

Right on the money. This is the real Brock just in a different scale. To date , Sunrise Debt Solutiobs was an all time classic.
