From\nmatch-fixing and murder to robbing post offices and bomb-making, these prolific\ngamblers with jail-time on their records are\u2026well\u2026an interesting bunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re\nnot saying gaming leads to a life of crime, but these \u2018characters\u2019 certainly\nfound themselves on the wrong side of the poker table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\nread on to find out how these notorious gamblers ended up behind bars. We\u2019re\nnot sure we\u2019d fancy playing a round of blackjack with any of these particular\njail birds\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Dan Bilzerian <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B982uZGHPuB\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Known\nas the \u201cKing of Instagram\u201d, Bilzerian is certainly not shy on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On\nthere you\u2019ll find the professional poker player signposting his glamorous\nlifestyle, high-stakes gambling, dangerous stunts, fascination with firearms\nand celebrity friendships for over 32 million followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s\neven made the pages of GQ Magazine. And he keeps goats as pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Allegations,\nincluding an alleged physical assault on a model during a nightclub \u2018brawl\u2019 and\na confusing incident in which a woman broke her foot after being thrown off a\nroof for a magazine photoshoot, saw Bilzerian come away legally unscathed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the one that finally stuck \u2014 at least for a little while \u2014 was an arrest for possession of explosive materials<\/a> with intent to manufacture. It\u2019s said the explosive mix was placed in a drinks cooler and shot, causing a 300-yard debris blast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilzerian\nspent less than a day in custody and finally settled the issue by paying a\nfine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mike Matusow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Mike
Image: Wikimedia Commons<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Matusow<\/a> is also a professional poker player. But one with serious pedigree considering his four-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet wins and 2005 WSOP Tournament of Champions crown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicknamed\n\u201cThe Mouth\u201d due to his at-table \u2018trash-talking\u2019, Matusow is also famous for his\nin-game meltdowns. However, it\u2019s not just his gambling prowess that has had him\nhitting the headlines\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drugs. The subject of a sting, Matusow reportedly provided an undercover police officer with prescription pain killers and ecstasy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This led to a six-month jail sentence served across 2004 and 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\nDragan Kostic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dragan
Image: CalvinAyre.com<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Macedonia-born\nbut Spain-based poker player Kostic plied his trade in the European pro\ncircuits, with one particularly notable success when coming second in the EPT\nBarcelona Main Event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nmeant he scooped a runner-up prize pot of \u20ac532,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So yeah\u2026about that \u20ac532,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kostic was reportedly required to pay some rather hefty taxes on his winnings. But he didn\u2019t even include the success in his returns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\nthe Spanish tax authorities swooped, landing the pro with 18 months of jail\ntime plus financial penalties. Despite an appeal and a slew of \u2018excuses\u2019, the\npunishment was upheld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\nBilly Walters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Billy
Image: Louis Lanzano\/Bloomberg<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A philanthropist, businessman and professional gambler, excelling in sports betting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walters is said to be a bit of a cult hero on The Strip, thanks to his jaw-dropping high-stakes bets, big wins and supposed self-made-man status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\none point he was thought to own seven homes and have a net worth of over $100\nmillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, Walters was found guilty of taking part in an insider-trading scheme<\/a> that had netted him around $32 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\npenalty? Five years in jail and a $10 million fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nwasn\u2019t the first time Walters had a brush with the law, as he has also\nreportedly been indicted on more than one occasion and even faced trial back in\n1992 on charges related to illegal bookmaking \u2014 although he was eventually\nacquitted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n74-year-old was recently released for home confinement due to the Covid-19\npandemic, but his sentence will still stretch to January 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.\nTony O\u2019Reilly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Tony
Image: Twitter\/TonyJOReilly<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An\nIrish post office manager may seem an unlikely addition to this list of mainly\nAmerican playboys, entrepreneurs and big winners, but that\u2019s what makes it so\nstriking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Reilly,\nwho has since released a book about his troubles, worked in a post office in\nCounty Wexford when he developed a serious gambling addiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A\nheadline-grabber of a sad story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\n2011, O\u2019Reilly was revealed to have stolen \u20ac1.75m \u2014 beginning with bags of\ncoins before eventually graduating to stacks of notes \u2014 from the post office he\nmanaged, to feed his out-of-control addiction and cover up his increasing\ndebts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe end, when caught, O\u2019Reilly served only 18 months of his three-year sentence.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nthe story ends on a hopeful note, with O\u2019Reilly a recovering addict and the\nproceeds from his book sales given to charity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.\nTed Forrest<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ted
Image: Twitter\/KageSpatz<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Forrest\nis yet another professional poker player from the US who got into hot water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\nsix-time WSOP winner with a World Poker Tour title under his belt too, the\n55-year-old goes by several nicknames including \u201cProfessor Backwards\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, he was charged with not one but two felonies in the Las Vegas courts: theft and cashing two bad checks<\/a> to the tune of $215,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately\nfor Forrest those checks, written out to none other than Wynn Las Vegas, had\nbounced and he owed the casino a lot of money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.\nDan Tan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dan
Image: Lianhe Zaobao\/The Straits Times<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dan\nTan, also known as Tan Seet Eng, is a high-stakes gambler and businessman from\nSingapore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s\nactually best-known for his crimes, namely his involvement in \u2014 if reports are\nto be believed \u2014 his masterminding of the soccer match-fixing scandal known in\nItaly as \u2018Calcio Scommesse\u2019.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In\n2011, a match-fixing scandal within Italian soccer caused shockwaves through\nthe sport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former players Giuseppe Signori and Cristiano Doni were among those implicated in the ring, of which Tan was widely considered to be the \u2018king-pin<\/a>\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall,\nhe is believed to have fixed over 150 matches across Europe and Nigeria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tan\nspent almost six years in jail, before being finally released at the end of\n2019. Dubbed the \u201cKelong King\u201d, Tan had also previously been jailed for illegal\nbetting activities back in the 1990s, but served less than a year at that time.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.\nErnie Scherer III<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ernie
Image: Las Vegas Police Department via Daily Mail<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

US\npoker pro Scherer had a reported $313,000 of tournament winnings already under\nhis belt and had taken part in the 2006 and 2007 WSOP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nyou\u2019ll probably be familiar with his name for all the wrong reasons. This story\nis a dark one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Murder.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\n2011, Scherer was convicted of the 2008 killings of both of his parents, Ernest\nand Charlene Scherer \u2014 who had been planning a family trip to Hawaii. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports\nsuggested the murder was staged to look like a burglary but that the real\nmotive was money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ernie\nwas set to inherit over $2 million from his parents on his 30th birthday, which\nwas just months away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But,\napparently on a losing streak in his poker career and in debt to his parents\nover real estate, police believe he killed them for the early inheritance. He\nreceived two consecutive life terms for the brutal murders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.\nBryan Micon<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Bryan
Image: Las Vegas Review Journal<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Micon\nwas a competitive poker player and ran a bitcoin poker site called \u2018SealsWithClub\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Running\nthe aforementioned iPoker site. The problem? SealsWithClub was unregulated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nMicon just happened to be operating it in a little regulated state you may know\nas\u2026Nevada. Oops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecuted for failing to obtain the proper license, Micon reportedly did a runner to Antigua, before returning in 2015<\/a> to face the music of a 10-year jail term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,\nafter accepting a plea deal, Micon was granted probation and ordered instead to\npay a $25,000 fine, among other smaller punishments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.\nPeter Jepsen<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Peter
Image: World Poker Tour<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jepsen\nis a Danish poker player and also previously served in the military police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\nwon $415,679 at the 2007 European Poker Tour and also broke the (then) biggest\nprize pot world record in online poker, netting $499,037 in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCrime?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In\n2019, Jepsen was sentenced to between three and four years of jail time for\ncheating, although reports vary on the length of time to be served. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ncharges relate to the hacking of other poker players\u2019 laptops while at\ninternational events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s\nbelieved Jepsen, who is set to appeal the verdict, was able to control rivals\u2019 machines\nand steal from their online accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nthefts are said to have taken place from 2008 to 2014, potentially adding up to\nat least \u20ac3.5 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
