It’s amazing how the media bought his BS unquestioned today. He may not have been actually betting, but his story now is his interpreter was stealing from him and he didn’t know anything about it. How you don’t realize that $4.5M is missing from your account stretches all credibility. He knew and he was probably also betting.
He’s the golden child.
Actually it happens all the time. Business managers rip off famous a lot. The world is full of rock stars, sports stars, actors and bunched of other famous people getting ripped off for a lot of money. There’s easy math on this:
First you have work that takes a lot of hours and keeps you from spending a lot of time looking at bank accounts
2nd put a bunch of money in those bank accounts
3rd give somebody else the keys to the kingdom to handle that stuff for you
Then you wake up a few years later and find out you’re not rich and that guy is living somewhere we don’t have extradition.
