High-roller gambler Brandon Sattler accused by creditors of running scam regarding installing video monitors in casinos

This is an interesting, albeit somewhat confusing story, involving accused scammer/compulsive gambler Brandon Sattler, and his company SattCom, which was supposed to be installing expensive monitors in Vegas casinos.

Plaintiffs James Russell, Grant Whitcher, and Julie Russell allege that Sattler scammed them out of $11 million collectively between 2016 and 2018, which was said to be investing in Sattler's company called SattCom. Sattler is accused of simply stealing the money to gamble and buy luxury items for itself. It's also alleged that he falsified various documents, including bank statements, to make it look like he had a fortune. In late 2018, there was an attempt to put him into involuntary bankruptcy.

However, the most recent drama came from US Bankruptcy Court, where he was hit with monetary sanctions, and then chose to ignore them.

Sattler was ordered to pay the sanctions by September 22, 2021, but instead went on a gambling spree at the Wynn and Resorts World over the summer.

Now he has supposedly come up with the money for the sanctions, and claims he will pay them, as well as the attorneys fees involved in the matter.

Of addition interest is that the Resorts World CEO Scott Sibella was subpoenaed for a deposition in the sanctions portion case, which is considered unusual. In other gambling cases, they tend to subpoena the person who had the most direct contact/knowledge with the person in question. However, if Sattler pays the sanctions, this deposition will be canceled as moot.

It is believed that SattCom never had any actual contracts with casinos to install anything.

R.J. Cipriani, a professional gambler known for sharing his winnings with the less fortunate and sharing intel with the FBI, is questioning Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson’s application of justice. He questions whether the DA, who wants him in jail, is doing the bidding of Resorts World executives who don’t want the brand of attention Cipriani is attracting to the hotel.

“Jason Derulo beat up two guys because they called him the wrong name,” Cipriani said during an interview, referring to an incident Jan. 4 involving the entertainer. “Joe Lombardo and Steve Wolfson didn’t have him arrested and charged. But I’m trying to help crime victims and I get arrested.”

Scott Sibella is now being investigated by the Nevada Gaming Control Board over this matter.

Sattler claimed in a deposition that he has been friendly with Sibella for "20 years", and that they did drugs and had sex with multiple women together.

He also claimed that David Stroj, a convicted money launderer and illegal bookmaker, was part owner of the Tacos El Cabron restaurant in Resorts World. The same article linked above said:

Known on the street as “Fat Dave,” Stroj is a well-known gambler and bail bondsman with a history of organized crime associations in Philadelphia.

The NGCB is now investigating whether Sibella lied about his previous association with Sattler, and whether Stroj actually has partial ownership in that restaurant. If they were knowingly doing business with a felon, or if they were negligent in checking his background, this could put Resorts World's gaming license in jeopardy.

A Resorts World spokeswoman said to the Nevada Independent, "In the instance of Tacos El Cabron, Resorts World Las Vegas conducted thorough background and due diligence checks as we do with all of our tenants, and nothing untoward was found. However, if we, along with gaming regulators, determine that there is a hidden interest of any kind that was not previously disclosed, we will act immediately to ensure full compliance with all gaming authorities."

Sattler claimed that he had a contract to install video monitors at Tacos El Cabron. Resorts World claims that he never had such a contract and never worked there.

BUMP again

I had wondered why Sattler wasn't facing criminal charges.

Welllllllllllll.... he is now officially facing federal fraud charges: https://cdcgaming.com/high-roller-no...fraud-charges/


In the meantime, things are going better for our friend RobinHood702.

Last we checked on him, he was arrested and charged in corrupt fashion, supposedly for stealing a cell phone from a Resorts World gambler and for cheating in a game there, but both of these charges appeared to be bogus.

When he tried to crow about this on social media, the courts ordered him to shut up. When he didn't, he got thrown in the slammer. Ouch!

But now... things are looking up. He pled guilty to disorderly conduct, agreed to stay away from Resorts World, and agreed to stop posting derogatory stuff about its executives.

Now he's made a deal with Netflix to have a series made about his informing and money laundering, which will be called "Jackpot".
