Criminal Poker: Saccucci Arrested, Mars Threatens to Kill Wesley
Scandalous events or even criminal cases commonly take place in the poker community, because big money is often involved. Recent high-profile scandals involving EPT champion Jordan Saccucci and regular players at Hustler Casino have received new developments and interesting details.
Mr Saccucci, who was wanted by the Canadian police on charges of a series of thefts, was finally found and taken into custody. It should be noted that Jordan is the champion of the EPT Main Event Prague 2022, but together with his accomplices, he was accused of 68 crimes that fall under the category of "breaking and entering". Together with Saccucci, his friend Dumark Lindsey was arrested, and a car with fake license plates was seized. Another accomplice was arrested last week, and the last, fourth member of the gang is still wanted.
Interestingly, this is not the first arrest in Jordan's history. Even before his big win at the EPT, he had serious problems with the law: in 2021 he was arrested on similar charges. Also, even then he was considered a probable member of the criminal group "Get Money Committee".
The story with Hustler Casino players Wesley and Nick Airball, who accused their friend Mars of cheating for more than $3,000,000, also got its continuation. According to accusations, Mars and several people associated with him used marked decks of cards in the game. But the answer of Mars himself was unexpected. In a private conversation with Wesley, he confessed everything, but said that he was flying from the US to China with accomplices, and that the "criminal syndicate" they were working for was going to kill Wesley if he didn't stop spreading the story.
"I'm not afraid of them and I'm calling the police right now. I have a recording of the conversation. Justice will prevail," Wesley wrote on his social networks.
