    Guy runs a 750k Super Bowl ticket scam, including 36k from his mom, is nowhere to be found

    Police records show Bhavi Shah told authorities that her husband had recently taken out a half-million dollar loan against the business without his wife’s knowledge. She also told police she knew nothing of the alleged ticket scam.

    ...

    According to those records, his family believes Shah traveled to Las Vegas at some point, as part of a midlife crisis, but it’s unclear where he could be now.
    Yikes...

    I wonder if the idiot shot off the money gambling at high stakes in Vegas.

    It seems like a lot of these idiots set their destination for Vegas when they pull something like this. I think it makes them feel important to be treated like a high roller, fuck high end hookers, etc.

    LOL @ scamming your own mother. Amazing.

    Interestingly, a "poker pro" (Ali Fazeli) was just recently sentenced for a Super Bowl ticket scam which supported his gambling habit.

    Dusting off 500k in Vegas casinos was certainly my first thought.

    The stories about Fazeli on the PFA Radio shows were the half the reason I posted this here. It’s shitty enough to scam poker players who you may/may not really know and who should probably know better. It’s waaay worse to be scamming your friends, family, and especially your mom.

    You guys are so fucking dense. Dude didn’t scam his close friends and mom AND take a huge loan out on his business to go to Vegas for a bender. Only way that’s true is if suicide is the finale. Otherwise this dude is trying to disappear. He collected over $1.25 million cash. He’s got a bigger plan than some hookers and blackjack. He knows his old life is effectively over.
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    1.25M isnt enough bread to disappear forever. Not even close.

    Bender+jail or bender+suicide seems much more likely outcome.

    What are you talking about bro?

    Parts of Mexico, Central America, and Asia where you can live like a fucking king for $3k a month.

    Dude can make it 25-30 years no problem if he did good hiding the cash.

    You said he went to Vegas, I said he didn’t. Who was wrong?

    Community college? Lmao, maybe you attended a community college. I have multiple degrees from an actual
    University and a well paying job in my field. How’s your “education” worked out rainman? Using your skills to code an 8th tier poker forum and barely pwning Marty? Tight life. Maybe catch some more anxiety and quit poker again you baby back bitch.
