    Confirmed Ted Forrest's real name is William Forrest

    Here is my Ted Forrest story.

    At the 10k 8 game tournament at the WSOP last year, Ted and I were at the same starting table. He showed up fairly late and so when he laid down his receipt for the dealer to see, I saw that it had the name "William Forrest" on it. My dad is named William but goes by Bill so I immediately thought of Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. So I say to Mr. Forrest.

    Me: "William, eh? So your real name is Bill?"
    Ted, stone faced: "My given name is William."
    Me: "Well sure but I mean Bill... Ted..."
    Ted, still stone faced: "My given name is William."

    The canadian guy in his 20's next to me is cracking up, no one else seems to get the (somewhat bad) joke and Ted seems like he is very annoyed with me and may think that I'm trying to make fun of him. I thought it was funny though.

    What's with me and offending full tilt pros?

    There not going extradite for passing bad checks
    thats not my point. the point is (and im now seeing his warrant was quashed but if it wasn't) that if he came back an said something like "i've been here the whole time" they can prove he wasn't. he probably flew there.


    edit:

    after reading that I don't think the warrant was quashed. LoL they're out to get this dude for sure.

    Id be trying to file a JIB (Judicial Inquiry Board) after this bc that warrant not being quashed after his lawyer made an appearance is rather bogus,

    Holy fuck if I'm reading that right his full bond was nearly $2MILLION.. of which he had to put up 10% but still that's fucking insane.. Child molesters don't even get bond that fucking high.. Gotta love the corrupt incestuous nature of the Casinos and being able to strong arm people by the casinos.. Years ago if you didn't pay they threatened to break your hands and shit in a back room. Now they use the courts and legal system as their 'enforcers'. I admit I'm rooting for Ted here.. This shit is unreal they knew damn well the bank accounts were proxy for the markers and I still maintain if somebody got this shit heard in Federal Courts it would be ruled a violation of FDCA and tossed out as overreach for turning what is a civil debt into a criminal matter

    So in Nevada if you default on your markers do you get jail time? Then you still owe when you come out or what exactly?

    What a nightmare for a guy that was once pretty high up on the gambling food chain.

    Does anyone have an update to this?

    Deals can be made, but yes, it's a criminal offense, and normally you would still owe the markers when you come out.

    Fucking over casinos is serious biz in Nevada, since they are such an important part of the state's economy.

    However, if you flee the state and don't come back, no state is going to extradite you for this.

    If he should choose to settle in a state like Florida or California with plenty of card action where he could grind out a living, can he be pursued civilly in those states for what are essentially gambling debts, in spite of what Nevada casinos may claim? My guess would be no, they wouldn't honor gambling debts but would they honor a Nevada civil judgement regardless of the nature of the debt? When you look at the Nevada casino credit system, the gambler and the casino are essentially conspiring to commit financial fraud. Both parties know that there is no money available to cover the debt should the gambler lose.

    They usually just leave, especially because these are typically non-residents who do it in the first place.

    But some of them are too addicted to gambling to stay away, or they are too ignorant to realize how seriously Nevada takes it.

    Google "extradition casino markers" and you will see TONS of Nevada-based lawyers with scary websites claiming you will be extradited. However, you will find zero actual stories of this occurring -- or at least I didn't find any.

    I'm sure extradition can happen if the amount is large enough. If a guy takes out a $6 million marker and skips on it, then yes, a state would probably ship him back.

    If it's over a matter of like $10k, they probably won't.

    They are more likely to extradite you if you are arrested for something else in your home state, especially a felony or serious misdemeanor.

    However, in most cases you just get contacted by first the casino demanding payment, and then eventually a Nevada district attorney, who will threaten to charge you with a crime (or in some cases, will have already charged you). Then if you no-show to court, you typically get convicted or a failure-to-appear on your record.

    None of this is good, and it can affect your career or future employment in some cases.

    However, I have never heard of a state picking someone up for a $10,000 debt and shipping them back to Nevada.

    Here is a 2011 article about how Nevada has become softer on collecting debts for casinos, in general:

    Very Interesting. I wonder how they deal with Chinese whales that use credit. Seems like you could be a whale with as 10 mil credit line and pay it off on time for a year and then just say fuck it and go for one last trip and try to free roll the casino. If you lose, just dont come back
