Robert Searfoss III from Ohio was an attorney who wasn't happy with his career, and he wanted to become a pro poker player. Apparently his law firm went belly up due to debt (either from lack of work or chunking off all his $ gambling -- I'm guessing the latter), so he allegedly stole $400k from a husband-and-wife pair of clients, whose trust he was managing.

His wife testified that he lied about the success of the law firm, and then finally broke it to her that he wanted to be a poker pro.
